Jim Obsitnik came to CH Bull in 2003. He started as a driver delivering and picking up equipment from job sites. When not driving he was helping out with counter sales and whatever needed to be done. We soon realized he was a valuable asset with much experience. Jim started working on the inside sales desk and was a perfect fit for our new approach to selling. For years we were, what I call , a box in and box out distributor. Our new approach we call solutions selling. Instead of just selling stuff we worked with customers closely listening to their problems and offer turnkey solutions. The ErectaStep product line fit beautifully into this model of selling. Jim is now our Inside Sales Manager and is our in house “go to guy” with Erectastep. Jim rides Harleys when time allows and when the weather is nice. He loves all things having to do with cars and often relaxes with a good Scotch and a cigar.

When Lee retired, he was not ready to stop working as he had a daughter to put through college. lee came to us wanting to come on board and with his experience we have hired him without regret. When Lee does have free time he likes to play golf. Of course, nobody ever has enough time to play enough golf to really work on their game.

Terry came to CH Bull in the beginning of 2019. Terry had been working for the French Creek, a fall protection company as their western United States salesman. We worked closely with Terry growing our French Creek product sales. We came to Terry, knowing he would be a good fit in the CH Bull family, and the kind of person that could help grow the CH Bull Co brand and business. When Terry came on board he had to ask if you had to work weekends. This is important to Terry because he and his wife own Tailspin Party Productions. Terry also is a minister and might introduce Mr. and Mrs. Whoever and the next thing he says is “Let’s get this party started” and “Let the dancing begin.” Terry’s territory is the East Bay starting at Hayward going north on Highway 880 and 80, north of the golden gate bridge and covers the central valley of California. Terry brings a lot of energy to the game and is a valued part of the C H Bull Co. team.
