Fuelbox Industrial, LLC recently promoted Sherman Gentry to operations lead, overseeing the entire day-to-day operations in manufacturing and shipping. Also, the company has tapped Tyler Rusomaroff as its new sales director.
Gentry has been with the company for the past two years, assuming the role of manufacturing coordinator. He spearheaded the process to set up Fuelbox’s warehouse and welding center, located in Jacksonville, Florida. He has also been responsible for training and supervising new employees for manufacturing roles.
“Fuelbox is one of those rare companies you come across where you feel an automatic connection with their vision, and that’s because of the passion of everyone on our team,” said Gentry. Ranging from inbound to outbound operations, Gentry has worked in almost every facet of warehousing and has held critical roles in both operations and production. He worked for Target at the Food Distribution Center in Lake City, FL, for six years and was an operations technician for four years. In this role, he monitored extensive automation throughout the warehouse cranes, conveyors, and robots, both via software and through physical aspects. He became a certified trainer in each role he held. At Fuelbox, Gentry has proven himself a dedicated leader in operations, and has delivered exceptional levels of fulfillment for the company’s clients.
Gabriel Curry, president of Fuelbox Industrial, said, “When I asked Sherman what he thought the most important qualities of operations were, he said reliability, accountability, and excellent communication between departments. I couldn’t agree more, and he’s done a fantastic job leading our manufacturing team making our Butter Blades. I’m grateful to have his level of dedication on our team!”
Less than a week shy of his first-year anniversary with the company, Tyler Rusomaroff has proven his commitment to Fuelbox’s mission and vision, and proven himself a leader within the team. The company has promoted him to the position of sales director. Rusomaroff has years of experience in sales and is dedicated to helping the Fuelbox team better serve its clients.
“If you ask me, everyone at Fuelbox is a rockstar. I’m grateful I get to work with and learn from everyone on this team,” said Rusomaroff. He added, “Our company slogan has really become my mantra. Every time I step in the door, I know we’re all working towards the same goal, ‘Sparking Productivity Through Innovation.’ This company is inspired by the incredible people who work in the pallet industry, and the way we set out to serve those professionals in the industry, is inspiring to me. I’m proud to take on this new role!”
Rusomaroff’s background is rooted in the construction industry. He developed a passion for it at a very young age, helping his father in his granite business, and working the table saws with the company during his high school and college years. He moved to Jacksonville, FL, seven years ago with his wife, and at that time, he worked in real estate sales, as well as rehabbing houses, never losing his love for construction.
Curry stated, “Tyler brings an amazing energy to our team. He lives out our core values,
and he’s willing to go above and beyond, not just for our customers, but for our team members. This is a deserved promotion, and I’m excited for the hands-on leadership he brings to the table!”
