Written by Elevation Foodservice Reps | Jan 17, 2022 7:00:00 AM

As we start off the New Year with new spotlight pieces on our great team here at Elevation Nation, we wanted to begin with sports enthusiast and account manager, Josh Angrick. If you're not catching up with him in a work setting, you might find him competing in a Spartan race (go ahead, look it up) or sipping on IPAs at one of Arizona's craft breweries. Join us as we get to know Josh...

How long have you been with Elevation Reps?

4 1/2 years

How did you get started in the foodservice industry?

Family. My father was on the manufacturing side of the industry, and I got to witness him create relationships in this industry that turned into lifelong friendships. I'm already fortunate to have the friendships I have, and I look forward to creating new relationships every day!

Do you do sales for a specific niche area? If so, what do you like best about that part of the industry?

I work with K-12 schools. I like coming up with solutions for school cafeterias to feed more students high-quality meals. I'm fortunate to represent brands that help school staffs reach their goals. I believe that efficiency, quality, and a positive experience during a student's lunch period translate to a more positive experience in the classroom. As a result, my job helps students become more successful mentally and physically.

What’s one thing clients do not realize about your job that is important to provide them with the best service?

I try to have clients understand that it's important for me to know what their short and long-term goals are. The more I understand what they're trying to accomplish, the easier it is for me to set them up for success.

What’s your favorite part of your job?

Working with first-time operators as we make their dreams come true. I love helping create an environment that brings people together for memorable experiences. I find it really rewarding to help operators reach their goals.

Do you have a favorite food or beverage?

Local IPA's wherever I travel.

Tell us one place you’ve always wanted to go to, but haven’t made it there yet.

Sydney, Australia.

What’s your favorite saying/mantra/inspirational quote you’d like to share?

"The best is yet to be."
