I’ve been in the Food Equipment and Supply business since 1979 while attending the University of New Orleans. I started out working in the warehouse, driving trucks, installs and inside sales at Loubat Glassware and Cork Co., which was located in the French Quarter. After a merger between Loubat and L. Frank food company I moved into outside sales and sold food and supplies. In 1997 I moved back to selling supplies and equipment only with Loubat Equipment Company. I’ve seen many changes and experienced many challenges during my time and am now happy to be working with Associated Food Equipment and Supply.

I have lived on the MS Gulf Coast for 33 years and have been with Associated since June of 1996.

We strive to maintain a family atmosphere here at Associated and we consider our customers as family too!

I joined Associated in March of this year as an Account Manager. Before that, I was in the insurance business for 25 years. I was fortunate enough to be given this opportunity to jump into something brand new with Associated! I have learned so much in the last couple of months. It’s a bit overwhelming at times but I can tell you that I am “all in”. Joining this team of knowledgeable folks is one of the best decisions that I have made. Everyday is a new adventure and I’m excited about my future with Associated.
