Tyler Hartwell, Oakland, Nebraska, and Bowen Tolle, Eaton, Colorado, have joined the BioZyme® Inc. Sales Team. Hartwell is the Area Sales Manager (ASM) in Nebraska. Tolle is the ASM for Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah. ASMs work with the BioZyme dealer network, promote the BioZyme family of brands, and collaborate with dealers and customers. Hartwell and Tolle will identify and cultivate new customers, partner with them, grow opportunities, and participate in associated trade shows and events to help develop the business in their assigned territory.
“We are excited to welcome Tyler and Bowen to the BioZyme family and anxious to see them excel in their respective areas,” said Paul Hill, BioZyme Director of National Sales. “BioZyme is fortunate to have the talent of their caliber with their industry connections join our team.”
Meet Tyler Hartwell
Hartwell is no stranger to the livestock industry. The Nebraska native grew up on his family’s Angus farm and attended Kansas State University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science & Industry. He has worked in livestock pharmaceutical sales for over a decade. He and his wife, Danielle, have four children and still manage a small Angus herd, focused on raising show cattle for their children.
“The people and the products brought me to BioZyme. I have been feeding and using BioZyme products for over 20 years, and I know they work. I’m excited to have the opportunity to share these products with other producers to help them with their respective operations,” Hartwell said. “Plus, the people are top of the line.”
Hartwell replaces Kevin Glaubius, who will move to the ASM role in Missouri. Outside of work, he enjoys his kids’ activities of dance, sports, and cattle shows. He also enjoys golfing and fishing.
Meet Bowen Tolle
Tolle, a Colorado native, is excited to utilize his expertise and experience in small ruminants to help grow that market segment in his diverse territory. He is a graduate of Tarleton State University, holding a degree in Agribusiness with a minor in Business. He most recently worked in agriculture and construction equipment sales.
“I’m looking forward to selling products that have brand loyalty across the BioZyme family of brands, especially getting to know and working with the existing dealers and the potential to grow our business,” Tolle said. “In my territory especially, the potential for the commercial flock size to grow is there, so I know I can help those producers with our DuraFerm line.”
Tolle still owns a small ewe flock with his parents. He enjoys helping other young people, including his sisters, with their show lamb projects and watching them succeed in the show ring. His hobbies include playing basketball and duck hunting. He steps into the role held by Jenette Masarie, who is moving to BioZyme’s Marketing Team.
