Warner will be responsible for helping customers achieve their environmental, financial, health and safety objectives in addition to focusing on business development for new customer acquisition.   “My goal is to seek out new business opportunities for Schust while developing long term relationships with past and new customers,” says Warner.  “Our goal at Schust is to design and deliver a solution that will meet and exceed all customers’ expectations.  I take pride in being a direct point of contact for the customer and working with the design team on each project,” he added.

Warner has a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing from Bowling Green State University. He is also a fifteen-year U.S. Army Infantry veteran with two combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
