Just look at what we have to work with!

Technical:

  • Kate Edwards - Product Manager, Materials Manager, Shipping Manager, Multitasker. Kate manages ProActive, silica, magnetic, "plain" and flow cytometry product lines. In her spare time, uh... spare time? Never mind.
  • Chajuana Hale - Bilingual Scientist. Chajuana spends her days in the lab making the beads that suit your needs. When not making our beads, she enjoys teaching Spanish to mature adults, shopping, and spending quality time with her family.
  • Sharmila Isaiah - Scientist, Lab Coordinator, Chief Fashion Advisor. Sharmila makes, dyes and coats our beads, and attempts, against all odds, to help us with our couture. Although we have yet to grace a catwalk, we now often wear coordinating belts and shoes, and use words like "couture."
  • Mary Meza - Vice President - Manufacturing, Horse Trainer. Mary heads up our R&D, manufacturing and technical support areas, and still finds time to train "Leo" and "Peg-leg Petie" on the side.
  • Kathy Turner - Technical Service Manager, Editor-in-Chief. Nobody is better at troubleshooting your application or conjugation woes. And when Kathy isn't fixing your problems, she's fixing our sentence structure. Without Kathy's attention to grammatical detail, make we no sense might us.
  • J Winstead - Scientist, Bona fide Hoosier. Unlike some people who call themselves Hoosiers just because they live in Indiana, J is the actual thing (a real Indiana University graduate)! When not in the lab, the newest scientist to join the Bangs team enjoys playing disc golf, running around (literally!) with his running group, and being outdoors.

Sales:

  • Michael H. Ott - Chairman & CEO. We are honored to say that Mike joined our team when Bangs and Polysciences joined forces.
  • Chad Owen - President, Diehard Colts Fan. Occasionally you will find Chad's two boys zooming around the office in search of candy. We are sure to keep the office well stocked!
  • Teresa Florczak - OEM Sales Representative, Sports Enthusiast. When not busy running around keeping our customers happy, Teresa enjoys spending time running around. Literally. A sports enthusiast, she can often be found running or lifting weights.
  • Karen Gernert – Marketing Coordinator, Word Warrior. Karen is responsible for keeping our marketing materials current and available for you…our happy readers!

Customer Service:

  • Teresa Dunham - Customer Service Manager, Professional Vacationer. In her spare time, Teresa loves to visit the USVI or relax with her family at their lake cottage. We have to keep an eye on her, she may slip away to an island and never return!
  • Julianna Isgar - Customer Service Representative, mother of three children, er ... cats. Julianna joined the Bangs team in early 2007 after a move from upstate New York.

Materials:

  • Robert Anglea - QMR. Bob's exceptional amount of ISO experience helps us maintain and update our ISO program. He picked the right trade... he loves it when people are compliant!
  • Mark Schemmel - Mark's careful attention to detail helps our products go out the door flawlessly. Warning: never step through a doorway without looking both ways... he is bound to run you over!

Administration:

  • Toni Dellekamp - Office Manager, Administrative Assistant, Mother Hen of Bangs. Toni keeps the office stocked with all daily necessities. In her spare time Toni likes to watch the Colts and NASCAR, and spend time with her friends and family.
  • Ming Peng - Accountant. Ming takes special care of all of our accounting functions.
