Geoffrey
learned early in life that he loved the food industry. At a very young age,
he started going to work with his father and learned about the meat
industry first hand. Geoff looked forward to assisting his father after
school and during summers, with every intention of learning the ins and
outs of the food business.
|
|
|
|
Geoffrey later realized his dreams when he opened and managed several of his
own businesses, for many consecutive years. After this, he became the Vice
President of Sales and Marketing for Alexander and Hornung, and later
brought in 20 million dollars worth of business for George R. Ruhl &
Sons. He spent eight years working for Karp's before joining us at
Cusano's.
|
|
|
Geoffrey currently resides in Tarpon Springs, Florida. In his free time, he
enjoys playing racquetball and spending quality time with his wife, Karen,
and their Bichon Frise, Amelie.

My name is Ronald Tubiola. I
have been in sales for some 40 years, both in the retail and wholesale through
out my career. Upon arriving in South Florida in 1995. I had a strong
desire to be connected with a company who manufactured superior products,
was a leader in the industry, and had a firm desire to move forward into
the future. I believed I was fortunate enough to find a family owned
company that has the same goals as I have. Every team member at Cusano
bakery shares the same sentiment, we're all very proud to be a part of an
exciting future.

experience to draw on and to share. Together they have grown the business to
where it is today. From one truck to twenty, from hoagies rolls and pizza
shops to artisan breads and Ritz Carltons. It's been an exciting eight

managing to maintain a strong golf game, just ask Sal Greco.

I was born and raised in
Brooklyn, N.Y where I attended Long Island University. In 1960 I enlisted
in the Army National Guard and when I returned home from military service I
opened a bakery and have been in the bread business ever since. I moved to
Florida 14 years ago and joined Cusano’s Bakery, first as an independent
driver and now as a salesman and route supervisor. I’ve been married for 45
years; have 2 children and best of all 4 grandchildren. Working at Cusano’s
has been a great experience because of the pro active atmosphere and
because of the people I work with.

My name is Liz Esquivel. I am a native
Floridian. I was born and raised in Miami. I have been working in sales for
the past four years throughout the South Florida area. I came across Cusano’s Bakery selling them my product. I spent an entire day with the owners
of the company and realized that this is a company I definitely would love
to be part off. I realized this company really cares about their products,
customers, and employees. I am proud to say that I am a part of the Cusano’s Bakery family

This is my 15th. year with
Cusano’s.
The best thing about Cusano’s is the
ownership and their commitment to make the finest product available. I had
other jobs, but I found a home at Cusano’s. I enjoy spending time with my family, fishing and playing poker.

Over 20 years of foodservice
experience in the south Florida market. I have recently joined the Cusano’s
sales team and work the west Broward county territory. Being associated
with a family owned company is something that is very fulfilling and
rewarding. Outside of Cusano’s I enjoy all sports especially automobile
racing. On weekends I retreat to my kitchen to try my hand at re creating a
Food Network recipe. I have three sons and my wife works as a registered
nurse.

I have been working for Cusanos
Bakery for approximately 3 months, and loving every minute of it. Over the
past 3 months I have not heard not one thing bad about this company or its
owners. I like the idea that it is family owned. This company has so much
potential, it reminds me of my earlier days with Entenmann’s Bakery before the family
released leadership. I personally thing
the company is heading in the right direction.

I was born in Huntsville,
Alabama and lived there until the summer of 1992, when I moved to Florida
with my father (we came just in time for Hurricane Andrew). The hurricanes
haven’t
scared me away yet, so I’m still here in
South Florida with my husband of 6 years and our sons, ages 6 and 2. I love
animals and going to theme parks; there’s no such
thing as too many roller coaster rides! My favorite pastime is playing
pirates with my boys.
I’ve
been in the Cusano’s Bakery family since
April of 2004. I enjoy working at Cusano’s because
each day brings new challenges and opportunities for success.
