Distributor Testimonials

 As a distributor for Tower Beverage servicing our flagship account at the 9-11 museum, I am thrilled to share my positive experience with this exceptional company. From the very beginning, the support and professionalism demonstrated by the Tower Beverage team have been outstanding. They provide high-quality products that our customers love and honor the company’s commitment to giving back to those who serve our country.

With nearly 40 years of experience in the distribution and grocery industry, I’ve built a strong foundation in route operations and customer relationships. I currently own two Pepperidge Farm routes, which have been both stable and rewarding over the years.

To expand my income and create something meaningful for my family, I made the decision to start a distributorship with Tower Beverage. It’s been a great opportunity to grow beyond traditional routes while involving my family in a business we can build together for the future.

My decision to become a Tower Beverage distributor comes from a genuine passion for the route business, a strong belief in the product, and years of experience building trusted relationships with customers. After owning a deli for six years and building and running a Boar’s Head route for the past decade, I’ve learned the importance of consistency, service, trust, and placing quality products in the right accounts. What excites me most about Tower Beverage is that it’s a brand I can truly stand behind. These beverages offer people a clean, refreshing, better-for-you alternative without adding more junk into the world. I take pride in being on the road every day, connecting with store owners, helping businesses grow, and introducing products that can make a positive difference for both retailers and their customers. That’s what drives me, and that’s why I’m proud to represent Tower Beverage.

 As a retired military veteran and current police officer approaching retirement, I have built my life around service, discipline, hard work, and a commitment to excellence. Anything connected to 9/11 hits home with me on a deeply personal level. The sacrifice of our first responders and the importance of honoring those we lost are values I will always carry with me.

Becoming a Tower Beverage distributor feels like a natural next chapter—an opportunity to be my own boss, stay active, build something meaningful, and continue giving back to the community. Tower Beverage’s commitment to honoring our heroes and supporting the FDNY Foundation makes this opportunity especially meaningful to me. I look forward to bringing the same integrity, dedication, and work ethic that have guided me throughout my military and law enforcement careers into building my own independent distribution business.

My wife and I have dedicated more than 44 years to the Direct Store Delivery (DSD) industry. Throughout our careers, we’ve built lasting relationships, delivered exceptional customer service, and developed a reputation for reliability and consistent performance.

Outside of the DSD business, we are also professional musicians who have performed successfully at venues across many states. That experience has taught us the importance of commitment, professionalism, and building strong relationships with people from all walks of life.

Our background includes vending and dairy distribution, beginning with Prairie Farms as a milkman, where we gained valuable experience in route sales and customer service. We later joined forces with McKee Foods (Little Debbie), where we spent 14 successful years. During that time, we achieved one of our proudest accomplishments by ranking 30th in the nation with our Walmart account.

After relocating to Tampa, Florida, I served as Branch Operations Manager for Sunny Florida Dairy. When the company closed, I continued my career with Borden Dairy, further strengthening my experience in beverage distribution and route operations.

Today, we are excited to return to business ownership. Having established strong relationships throughout the Tampa area and being part of a close-knit family of vendors, we believe the time is right to build something lasting.

Tower Beverage offers a structure that empowers independent operators by providing the tools, support, and opportunity needed to succeed. Our goal is to build a distribution group recognized for reliability, consistent performance, and outstanding customer service while creating opportunities that benefit our family, our community, and the Tower Beverage brand for years to come.

I currently operate as a distributor for Herr’s and Rap Snacks across Northern Virginia, covering Fairfax County, Loudoun County, Prince William County, Fauquier County, and the City of Alexandria—some of the most affluent and high-growth markets in the United States.

My current distribution network includes major grocery chains, independent retailers, and convenience stores such as 7-Eleven. I focus on building strong retail relationships, maximizing shelf presence, and driving consistent product movement across all channels.

As I continue to grow, I am actively seeking new product lines and supplier partnerships to expand my portfolio and create additional revenue streams. While I am relatively new to the distribution space, I’ve had the opportunity to partner with several strong brands and continue to learn from experienced professionals in the industry.

I’m especially proud to work alongside Tower Beverage supporting a company that not only focuses on product growth but also contributes to first responder programs and community initiatives. Collaborating with seasoned industry experts has been invaluable as I build and scale my distribution business.
