Nathan LaPorte

Sales Representative

I found my passion for sales when I started working at Golf Galaxy in high school. I found this passion when I realized I had such a deep knowledge of the product and enjoyed seeing a happy customer. I have focused on sales as a career ever since. I have learned a lot from my father growing up, because he has been in sales for 25 years. I love building relationships with customers and selling a product they truly need.

Prior to PMR I worked for Spring Creek Products where I was a regional sales representative focused on hardware retailers. Prior to that I worked at True Value Corporation creating category planograms alongside each merchant along with 3 years of retail experience with The Home Depot prior to that.

Responsibilities:
Distributors and Farm / Ranch accounts though out Illinois

Hobbies / Activities / Interests:
My favorite hobby is golf. I’ve played since I was about 6 years old. I was lucky enough to play 2 years competitively through college. I love going to Notre Dame Football games in the Fall with my brother. I am also very involved in charity events within a gaming community I am a part of. Over the last 3 years we’ve raised over $4.7 million for St Jude’s Hospital. Above all else, I love spending time with my family anytime we can all be together.

Favorite Sports Teams:
Notre Dame, Chicago White Sox, Bears, Blackhawks, Tiger Woods, and Rory McIlroy.

Favorite Foods:
Any Italian dish, Tacos, BBQ, but preferably burnt ends from brisket.
