Dean’s team is responsible for Aftermarket Sales and Customer Service, Forecasting, Export Compliance, Shipping and the Hartzell Service Center.

Dean has embraced roles in several areas of the company including Manufacturing, Product Support, Quality, Sales, Service and Business Planning. He naturally gravitates to roles that provide opportunities to interact with Hartzell’s customers, recognizing that they are a primary key to Hartzell’s success.
