In this edition, spend a few minutes with Central Florida Sales Rep and Ventilation Systems Specialist, Alex Gonzalez to learn a little more about him and his family's new move to Orlando.  **Give us a little background on yourself.** I was born in Queens, NY but moved around a lot because of my dad's job. I lived in Kentucky the longest, where I met my wife when we were in high school. Then I moved to South Florida so my wife and I can live a little closer to family. Why the move to Orlando? My wife and I recently had a baby, Jocelyn, so the move is perfect for us to be a bit closer to my wife's family in Orlando. Professionally, I will be living in my territory to provide better attention to our customers in the area. As well, I can assist our customers with their ventilation needs across the state. ![Eaton Alex Gonzolez family Rep Prep](https://blog.eaton-marketing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Eaton%20Alex%20Gonzolez%20family%20Rep%20Prep.jpg?width=1024&name=Eaton%20Alex%20Gonzolez%20family%20Rep%20Prep.jpg) What are you most excited about in your new role as Central Florida Sales Rep? I am extremely excited to work directly with our customers in the Orlando area with their foodservice equipment needs. This will also give me a chance to work a bit closer to our headquarters in Clearwater and be more involved with our team there. Will you still be working in ventilation like you were for Eaton in South Florida? Yes, I will still be the Ventilation Specialist for Eaton Marketing. Central Florida is a great spot for this role also, as I can better serve the entire state with their ventilation system needs. **Where is your favorite place to go out to eat?** Sushi restaurants are my favorite. **Favorite place you have visited?** Las Vegas. **Where do you see yourself in 5 years?** I see myself as part-owner of a commercial restaurant mechanical equipment company, helping it grow in terms of opportunity. ## Eaton Marketing's team of experts helps Florida foodservice operations become more efficient and experience greater profits.
