Mentzer on Mentzer
by... wait for it... Robert Mentzer
Rob Mentzer is VinCenzo International's crack new Logistics Coordinator. Rob often lectures small children about his position, saying: "High quality custom tins like VinCenzo's don't just magically appear on the shelves, children!" After they are manufactured, containers filled with tins are loaded onto a really big boat and brought over the ocean into a port on the West Coast. When they arrive there, those containers are unloaded from the boat and put onto a freight train. The train carries them to Chicago or wherever they have to go, where they are loaded onto a truck and then delivered to the customer! So you see, children, as Logistics Coordinator it's my job to know exactly where they are and exactly when they'll be arriving."
Hanging out in a warehouse, counting boxes... one of the less glamorous tasks.

Rob moved to Chicago all the way back in the summer of 2004, but has been a longsuffering Cubs fan since he was a wee bairn (Yet further increasing the office's misery quotient. -Ed). He lives with his lovely fiancée and their two cats. The four of them used to live in Columbus, Ohio, where Rob worked for an adult literacy program and wrote for a weekly newspaper. When not coordinating logistics or playing online poker, Rob writes for numerous publications. He has even been known to ghostwrite autobiographical articles for web sites on occasion.
