Bob Doherty, Jr BIO:
While Bob learned to sell at age six, he considers his professional sales career began in September 1976 when he joined Graybar Electric. After six years there, he moved on to H Leff and, in 1992, joined Wolff Bros. Supply, where he was the Regional Manager of their Akron Location for 28 years and has been their Regional Consultant for the last three.
In 2009, Bob received a DSMA award from SMEI, the predecessor of NSME. He is also a past president of the organization.
Bob and his wife Susie have two adult children, and his interests include music, sports, and trivia. He is also a connoisseur of chicken wings; however, that is a whole other story!
