Thomas Ruff

Warehouse Supervisor at eGourmet Solutions, Inc.

Kansas City, Kansas, United States

About

I have been in sales and marketing as well as project management for the past 20 years. My experience up until 2011 had been mostly in the medical sales field, where my expertise was on the sale and service of high end medical capital equipment. Since the year 2001 the medical equipment ranged anywhere from $150,000 - $1 million dollar medical systems usually sold to individual hospitals where the equipment was used in the hospital's operating rooms for neurosurgery, ENT, orthopedics, urology and general surgery. From 2007 to 2011 the medical equipment ranged from $3 million to $5 million equipment called stereotactic radiosurgical systems that were sold and used mainly in top cancer centers throughout the midwest. These cancer centers included the University of Kansas Medical Center, St. Luke's Hospital, University of Chicago Medical Center, University of Illinois, Chicago Medical Center, Rush Presbyterian, St. Francis Medical Center (Wichita, KS) and Menorah Medical Center in Overland Park, KS. For the past 5 years my experience has been in the construction field which began when I purchased my own asphalt company to provide paving solutions for commercial parking lots and residential driveways throughout the Kansas City Metropolitan area including St. Joseph, MO, Lawrence, KS and Topeka, KS. Since 2016 I have been in the warehouse management industry.
