Alan Cook

Hi, my name is Alan Cook and I am from Newton, North Carolina, a small town situated in the southern foothills. I came to work here in June of 2004 after spending 5 1/2 years in wholesale distribution. I have a lovely wife of 15 years named Cheryl and two beautiful daughters, Courtney, age 14, and Lauren, age 8. My favorite hobbies are spending time with my family doing most anything, golfing and trout fishing with my dad. My favorite foods are steak and chicken wings. I feel I have the best customers in the world and I work very hard to take care of what they need. The most enjoyable part of this job is making deals that work for the customer.
