Who is Perry the Platypus?

Meet Perry Hickok.  He's one of our partners at Commercial Residential Aluminum. 

Perry, our Head of Sales and one of Commercial Residential Aluminum's partners, is a strategic leader who has an innate ability to originate, expand, and enhance business opportunities and client relationships.

Perry started in the Aluminum Industry over 30 years ago as a product installer where he learned Aluminum Construction from the ground level. He was quickly promoted into management and  knew his unique combination of leadership skills, love of sales, and product expertise were being wasted working for someone else, so he joined Tom Teffenhart in 1992 to form Commercial Residential Aluminum.

Now, let's come into the present...

I was trying to find a fun way to recognize our best sales person every week, and I happened to  Google "Perry" and "stuffed animal."   Perry the Platypus, a Disney character, magically appeared, and our chance to have fun at the boss' expense was born!

Every week, Perry the Platypus travels to the desk of our salesperson with the highest dollar sales, and he is creating quite a stir.  He actually looks a little like Perry Hickok, he growls, which our fearless leader is sometimes known to do, and right now he's sporting a pair of PH's glasses.

Perry the Platypus is pictured with Eric Zito, who was our top sales person two weeks in a row!  Congratulations Eric!

Join us as we watch Perry the Platypus travel.  I'm fairly certain he'll gain new hair, clothing, etc., as the year progresses!
