W.C. Branham - Troy Branham

Overview

Troy Branham

Ella's Pre-K Graduation June '09

I have been involved with the family business for the better part of eighteen years in various capacities.

My first real job, I recall, was a Staff Accountant for a Minneapolis based computer graphics imaging systems manufacturer while attending the University of Minnesota.
I always liked working with numbers and had a desire to pursue an Accounting degree. However, after doing salesmen commission reports for several months I became even more motivated to learn the art of sales. No offense to the Accounting profession but it just wasn't for me. One day, the President of the company had asked me to learn all that I could about how to get our products on a Federal GSA contact. I did, an shortly thereafter found myself in a newly created Federal Government Sales position in 1986. Those years from '86 to '91 were exciting and rewarding. Better yet, I was able to apply those experiences at W.C. Branham.

I earned my B.A. Political Science degree from the University of Minnesota.

Interests are graphics design, politics and anything made from Apple. I enjoy playing golf and fishing but never have the time (active kids) and are an avid hockey fan. Favorite NHL teams are Tampa Bay Lightning, Minnesota Wild and Dallas Stars. University of Minnesota Men's Hockey, of course. Go Gophers! Minnesota Twins and Tampa Bay Rays baseball ranks high too.

I have two children; Colton age 8 and Ella age 5; Dogs Lucky and Cooper

Reside in Lakewood Ranch (Sarasota area), Florida. Commute to River Falls, WI.

What do I like about my job? That's easy. The people. We have a great team throughout our company and our work is never boring. I enjoy providing engineered solutions to our customers.
