Meet The Team
|
|
Billy Torello
Principal Member
The answer is yes! He does in fact never run out of energy. I thought I’d clear that up first, as it’s the first question always asked. Billy is mean green environmental cleaning machine. In addition to all of the singing and dancing around the office he still finds the time to maintain his impeccable fashion sense. You may have no environmental concerns - but I’d recommend still calling, just for fun! You’ll never laugh so hard.
The only time you can catch Billy in slow mode is during hot yoga. We look forward to his weekly demonstrations. |

Peggy Manalis
Director of Finances
Peggy our "Greek Goddess" has been a welcomed addition to the Pro-Teck team along with all of her quirky habits. (ie: eating hot chocolate mix plain, to satisfy her sweet tooth minus the calories of adding Milk) Nonetheless, we are having a hard time figuring out if she is better at calculating the companies finances or counting her daily calorie intake.
As if she didn't already fit in, she is now a new dog mom! That's right- she is a proud member of the K-9 mom society, when she is not tormenting Billy, you can find her and her Great Dane daughter, "Lola" gallivanting through various dog parks or hanging out with her rather large knit of Greek relatives. OPA!

Jennifer Mancini
Director of Operations
Jen, aka Mrs. Sunshine, is our delicate flower of the office, but just because she’s sensitive doesn’t mean you won’t catch her keeping the office in line (making sure things are done her way), telling our customers how she “rolls” and keeping our vendors on their toes. Jen our approvals/office lunch coordinator sure knows how to get the job done as she is well seasoned in the waste industry. On a few select jobs, hand selected by Jen of course, you’ll see her put on those boots and run the show herself.
If you really want to know how to drive her nuts, we’ll let you in on our secret. Whisper or Laugh and don’t tell her what it’s about; the curiosity always gets her. But shhhh….don’t tell Jen!

Rob Ives
On-Site Project Manager
Rob is our premier onsite project manager, who knows how to get the job done. He is the "golden child" of our office, and can do no wrong. Rob feels his name is hard to spell, and has no problem letting you know it's R-O-B when you call.
Don't get caught throwing away a soda can or battery with this obsessed recycler around! Rob lives his life "green" and wants to teach other people to do the same. He is even a fan of "The Green Network" on TV. When Rob isn't thinking about recycling bins, he is putting his new mountain bike to use! After hours of research he has finally found his dream Huffy bike. (And after 5 minutes of searching the web, he’s adopted a new dog, Buddy!)

Lauren Van Growski
Director of Business Development
Where to start? Well for those who might not know Lauren she is Pro-Teck’s first employee. As a veteran of the group, she is in charge of all of our Sales, Customer Relations, our Website and she’ s the Party Organizer and Marketing Manager. What a joy it is to work with someone like Lauren, she takes on life with the same approach everyday which is a radiant smile and a “bubblelicious” personality.
When Lauren isn't working, she’s playing with her two wrinkly English bulldogs and driving around belting out high notes and attempting to match the octave range of Mariah Carey. Lauren has a very positive outlook on life which she is trying to spread to the rest of the office. (It’s a slow moving operation!)

Theresa Arcangelo
Business Development Associate
Theresa or “Tree” is part of our Business Development Department and works closely with Lauren assisting in sales, marketing and customer relations.
Tree is our office celebrity! Take a drive down I-95 or I-91 and you could spot her on a billboard. Really!
Theresa our office vegetarian, enjoys hanging out with friends, cuddling with her dog “Gizzy” and having her hair extensions styled.
One of Theresa’s secret talents is Yodeling; but you didn’t hear that from me!! |

Luis Martinez
On-Site Project Coordinator
Don't let this macho ladies man fool you! Although he is a star soccer player, and yes, he pumps iron at the gym 5:30 every morning; Luis has a sensitive side. All jokes are funny until they are on him! Maybe his sensitive side came from welcoming his beautiful baby girl, Ariel into the world!
Luis likes to spend his lunch breaks losing a few games of pool against the girls of the office. He does win sometimes (when he changes the rules, that is).
Luis has a few signature dance moves that he likes to show off for the office. Our personal favorite is his version of Jen dancing. Good thing, he coordinates job sites as smooth as he flows on the dance floor. |

Billy “Junior” Torello
On-Site Project Coordinator
Junior is our office gentlemen, he’s always ready to lend a helping hand and just like his father, he never sits still!
With Junior in the office, it really is a breath of fresh air. Not only because he is brand new, but due to his extensive cologne collection.
Just because he is the owner’s son, doesn’t mean he gets any special treatments. At times, he is known to run circles around the veterans!
Outside of the office, he is an amazing husband and father of two boys and is known to be the funny Dad at school field trips. Maybe that’s because he is a big kid at heart himself! Again, just like his Dad! |

Jennifer DeCataldo
Administrative Assistant
Just to make things confusing, we hired another Jennifer! But don’t worry, this Jennifer couldn’t be any more different. Phew! Jennifer is calm and laid back. No matter what the situation at hand, Jennifer is always cool as a cucumber. Hopefully that will rub off on a few of us, not to mention names.
“New Jen” or “JD” works in our admin department assisting Peggy. JD enjoys watching the Giants play at the bar posing as one of the “guys” and on occasion she’s been known to strap on a snowboard and hit the slopes, while her feminine side allows her to love traveling to different beaches.
Doesn’t she look like Sarah Jessica Parker? I think we have a Celebrity look-a-like on our team!

Jamie Torello
Honorary Member
Jamie does not actually work at Pro-Teck. She does not answer phones, nor does she fax or e-mail, she does not file paperwork and she definitely does not do dishes. Jamie’s job is to stop by unannounced, eat all our food, use our computers and pump her dad for money. However… since she is so darn cute and because we all love her we have made her an honorary member of the Pro-Teck team and feel she absolutely deserves a place on our web site!
