Tim Brubaker's Career Bio
As the forefront of all national sales activity, I turn horticulture customers into relationships and agriculture issues into innovative solutions. As a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in both agricultural and horticulture, I’m the “go-to” person who helps find root causes and answers to complex issues. I thrive on the challenges of dynamic horticulture and agricultural industries while being respectful of company resources and possessing strong work ethics.
