We are very excited to welcome Brad Johnson to the Braun family. Brad joins us as the new Regional Sales Manager for Region 2. His coverage includes Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Mississippi, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.

Hired in April 2013, Brad is responsible for dealer recruiting and development, sales and marketing, product development, and business development for Braun Industries in Region 2. With a Bachelors of Business Administration from Tiffin University, including a major in Management and a minor in Marketing, Brad has the knowledge needed to efficiently execute his new Region 2 responsibilities. Along with the educational experience, Brad also has plenty of EMS-related experience which helps him understand and relate to Braun's core customer group. Joining a local volunteer fire department when he was in college, Brad continued his volunteering for 21 years total as a firefighter and, after earning his certification to be an EMT-BLS, continued to expand his skills until becoming a paramedic as well.

Brad was initially drawn to work for Braun Industries because of our reputation in the industry for quality emergency vehicles. Now that he has secured the job, he is settling in well and finding his responsibilities both challenging and rewarding. When asked what he liked most about his new position at Braun, he replied,

"One of the most enjoyable parts of the RSM position is the interaction with the dealers and the end users of our ambulances. The different ideas and things that everyone does is very interesting."

Along with finding satisfaction in his new job position, Brad is also appreciative of the acceptance that has been shown to him from the Braun family and employees, further establishing Braun Industries' reputation for treating their employees - and customers - with respect and sincerity.

VP of Sales and Marketing, Chad Brown, is also excited to have Brad as part of the team. Chad had the following to say about Brad's appointment as Region 2 Regional Sales Manager:

"We at Braun are extremely excited to have Brad in his role as Regional Sales Manager.  His past sales and  hands on EMS experience bring a unique perspective to his role as RSM. He can relate with the paramedics, EMT’s , and officers of the department because he himself has held those roles. We have been very impressed with Brad's commitment to the position and passion for his new role, and have received positive feedback from his interactions with dealers and customers alike. Please join me in welcoming Brad to the Braun family!"
