After watching the growing success of his brother′s produce distributorship, Cory entered the business himself as a new college graduate in 1994. His first position as a Transportation Specialist with Sunkist Growers introduced him to the fast-paced atmosphere of the industry. He quickly found an interest in the sales side of the business and joined OakPort Transportation Services where his knowledge of the industry grew over the next 4 years.

Over his 8 year tenure, he developed the leadership skills and experience necessary to continue his professional journey into upper management.

In this role, he oversees all product sales and distribution for the company′s 2nd largest division. Cory is also instrumental in the strategic development of both regional and national accounts.
