I worked for a large company (BASF) for 18 years as a regioal sales manager. BASF sold our division and I started NSA Inc with 2 partners in 2003. Today we sell more than $5M in refurbished computer parts and laser toner cartridges. Most of our sales are through small resellers but we also sell to one big box entity. I am the president and wear many hats. We have made it through many years of low profits and bank loans but keep plugging away. we have made many mistakes that I hope are not repeated. Our employees are very loyal and happy in their work. Prior to BASF and my current company NSA I worked in software distribution in a quickly growing start-up that quickly ended. I was also a Peace Corps Volunteer and completed a 2 year commitment as a science teacher in West Africa. I am married with 4 children and 6 grand children.
