Richard Bentoski III

My name is Richard Bentoski, engineer by education, but I’ve been in sales for a long time now. I enjoy the personal interaction with customers and satisfaction of solving their problems - big or small.

In life I believe in the phrase “you are exactly where you put yourself” and I have two rules. 1. Keep calm. 2. Go in order. I keep these in mind always at work or at home and they’ve served me well.

When not working, there are a few hobbies that keep me busy including gaming, cooking, backpacking, and consuming educational content on YouTube. (No knowledge is useless). In addition, I’m an avid Magic: the Gathering player and collector and I’m always down for EDH.
