Geoffrey Haas - email

 

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.

Comments:

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.

Santo Catalano - email

 

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.

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.

Comments:

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.

Comments:

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.
