“I’ve covered this territory for 20 years,” said Brock. “I love getting to meet the peo- ple in this industry and it is different every day. I know this territory like the back of my hand, and I’m excited to get Braxton-Bragg products in the hands of my long-time customers and friends.”

stone. He was also the vice president of sales for Stone Brokers of America in Miami for 8 years. He headed the GranQuartz restoration division in the Southeast territory, and then was promoted to the tooling division. Ruiz went on to be the store manager in charge of the Florida region.
“Braxton-Bragg has a great reputation in the mar- ketplace and I think we are poised for extreme growth with the backing we need to succeed,” said Ruiz. “The company’s professionalism, leadership, and team-build- ing atmosphere empowers employees to use our talents in the best way possible.”

operating, programming and maintenance.
Herring started his stone career in a granite/head- stone shop in 2004 where he learned to template, fabri- cate, operate CNCs, and in- stall and repair countertops. Over his career he has both run CNCs and managed shops. In 2009 he was pro- moted to general manager and significantly increased the number of square feet fabricated daily. He then gained experience as a tech- nical salesman, selling CNC tools and teaching fabrica- tors how to run CNC ma- chines, from setting tools, to basic and advanced oper- ating/programming, mainte- nance, and even organizing shop flow. Before joining the Braxton-Bragg team, he worked for 7 years at DTS and Lackmond.
“The people in this in- dustry are amazing; most people I meet turn into friends and I can’t wait to share the same experience with Braxton-Bragg,” said Herring.
Brandon Carrier has five years of experience in the stone industry. He started in customer service and worked his way up to outside sales. He has been working in Georgia and the South Carolina territory for the past two years with Lackmond. “I am excited to
hit the ground running in a territory I am very familiar with for Braxton-Bragg,” said Carrier.
These additions join Braxton-Bragg sales consul- tants hired last month, and will allow Braxton-Bragg outside sales to cover the United States, with decades of stone industry and CNC knowledge.
“At a time when many companies are in a holding pattern, Braxton-Bragg is moving full steam ahead with our strategic plan for expanded local coverage, and a robust CNC program that rivals any in the indus- try,” claimed Stimac. “Our enhanced sales organiza- tion will allow us to reach and surpass those goals. We are there for our fabricator

partners from the planning stage, to training, educa- tion and installation of CNC systems and products to increase their profits and efficiency.”
Since its beginning in 1994, Braxton-Bragg’s phi- losophy has been to offer the best customer service and the best value for the money. This is accomplished by de- livering exceptional prod- ucts and first-class service to its partners in the stone, tile, and concrete industries.
