Grothaus says, “SafeRack is a winning organization with a successful formula for growth and the people are amazing. I’ve got enough experience to know that it is far more important to work with quality people than anything else.” Grothaus is up for the challenge of getting to know the industry as well as getting to know the area for recruiting purposes.
