Richard Pahula, Sales Manager

Professional Summary

Over the course of my professional career, I have gained a lot of skills and knowledge that I believe have helped the transition to my role as Sales Manager for Creative Industrial Systems, which I have been doing now for nearly 3-years.

I enjoy my role and the organization because of the small business atmosphere where everyone is working together with a “roll up your sleeves” mentality – we rise to the challenge!

Prior to my role, I attended California University of Pennsylvania, and began working at PNC Bank shortly after graduating.

In my personal time, I am a self-proclaimed video game nerd. I love playing World of Warcraft and many others. But I also enjoy cooking and trying new recipes, as well as attending music festivals across the country.
