Jonathan Graham,
Regional Sales Manager for the West

Earlier this month, major league baseball fans were treated to one of the most anticipated events of the season – All-Star week. It’s the best of the best coming together to show off their skills, rekindle fun rivalries and show peers why each deserves his title of “All-Star”. Brokk has also been riding the All-Star wave, adding to its team of the best employees in the industry. The latest addition to Brokk’s All-Star lineup is Jonathan Graham, regional sales manager for the West.

Graham brings with him to the Brokk team nearly 20 years of experience in industrial equipment sales. Beginning July 30, he will be responsible for driving sales throughout Brokk’s Western Region, including Alaska and Hawaii.

“I’m eager to begin this new chapter in my career,” Graham said. “I’m looking forward to helping continue Brokk’s growth throughout the west, and put my technical background to use selling these highly sophisticated machines.”

Graham is stepping into the role previously held by former Brokk All-Star, Gary Porter, who has joined Brokk’s sister company, Kinshofer. After eight years of sales experience at Brokk, Porter will now be based in Washington selling truck cranes and hydraulic equipment.
