Since getting his start in the business with G.A. Braun in 1989, Southwick has served in several capacities involving sales, facility design planning and project management. After a 17-year run at Ellis Corp. where he was the director of sales for the North-Central region for 15 years, he moved on to VEGA Systems USA.
