Management and Staff Bios

Kirk Botkin, President / Owner
Born with the gift to analyze and solve the most complex ideas & issues. Came up with the ingenious mechanics of the pegRAIL™ system & so much more. Father of those four active kids, we talk so much about.

Mark Botkin, Owner
The Guru of all things technical and an amazingly gifted at making the best out of the worst! No IT challenge can beat him. Uncle of those four active kids, we talk so much about.

Monte Botkin, Owner
Middle brother and biggest kid! Solves amazing feats of production, leaps over obstacles in a single smile and Uncle of those four active kids, we talk so much about.

Scott Hammans, V.P. Marketing & Customer Service
Voted in high school as, "BEST Marching Band Drum Major" …those early years prepared Scott to lead this innovative new company and keep everyone "in line."
Adopted Uncle of those four active kids, we talk so much about.

David Nickel, Creative / Design Director
Worth a million times 5¢, his creativity is so endless that we gave him his own time zone! (or twilight zone) Just check out his "pegTINI" recipe. Nickel is also the beloved arts & craft coach to those four active kids, we talk so much about.

Jim Miller, V.P. Sales
SWM, all American blond hair, blue eyes seeking pRD’s (pegRAIL™ Dealers) with a nice smile, great style and a good sense of humor. Friendly, kind (to a fault) and enjoys traveling, sunsets on the beach, dining out and really fast cars.

Dave Coats, Western Regional Sales Mgr.
After living in Southern California for over 20 years, Dave is still willing to admit that he is a "Native Hoosier" and is often heard humming the tune to "Back Home in Indiana". The western states network of dealer/showrooms will greatly benefit from his Hoosier values of care and feeding (did someone mention pot-luck lime green jello salad ?) So Dave, "After hanging your hat on pegRAIL™… what are you going to do next? …"Take those 4 active kids to Disneyland !"

Jerry Renna, Eastern Regional Sales Mgr.
You name it… he’s lived there. You name it… he’s done it. Did a 360 and joined pegRAIL™ the week we launched the company. "Old Hottie" as referred to by the youngest female of those four active kids, we talk so much about.

Barbara Hazelwood, Director of Human Resources
Eagerly waiting for those four active kids, to come of age, and be compliant with the current "child labor laws."

Walter Marta, Controller
Known to occasionally crack a smile and an undercover sales agent for pegRAIL™. Only those four active kids, we keep talking about, can get Walter to open up those purse strings.

Andy Gilkerson, V.P. Production
Those four active kids love digging up worms for “The Bass Fishing Master” himself and fearless leader of our manufacturing crews. His motto: “If it aint right, it aint going AND it’s gotta go …SO it better be right!”

Rex Webb, Director of Engineering
The strong silent type. Don’t ask him what he’s thinking. If he wanted you to know, he’d be talking. Possibly a better Bass Fisherman than Andy. (He knows you can’t use “live bait” at the fishing competitions that those four active kids dig up for “uncle” Andy).

Brian O’Dell, Director of Procurement
Dream job: Host of “Let’s Make A Deal – Can You Have It Here By Friday?” While some people can sell ice to Eskimos, Brian will figure out a way to buy it from them.

Julie Botkin, Boss of R&D / Head Cheerleader / Goddess
If a woman can be referred to as a "Renaissance Women" … Julie is most definitely "ALL THAT". With a passion for all creatures on four legs, this "gal" could ride circles around Annie Oakley. The first "True Believer" in pegRAIL™, …we owe so very much to this woman! Beloved mother of those four active (and NOW, well organized) kids, we talk so much about. Supportive & loving wife to that fifth "kid" at the top of our list.
