A graduate of Buffalo State College with a bachelor's degree in business administration and a concentration in marketing, Tod began working for Marathon Roofing in 1988. He started in sales, working his way up to sales manager and eventually general manager under previous owner Doug Rowan. In January 2006, Tod purchased the company and moved it to a new facility in Orchard Park NY. Shortly after, he founded his second company, MRP Supports, which provides high quality paver support products through its distributor network.
In addition to being active in all aspects of the business, Tod participates in many trade shows annually and is involved in other organizations, like ANSI/SPRI to write the national standard for RD1 retrofit drains. He is also a graduate of the University at Buffalo School of Management’s Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership.
Tod resides in Hamburg with his wife, Tina, and their children Jake and Amanda also work for the Marathon Companies. During his free time, Tod enjoys traveling, spending time at the lake, playing golf, watching local sports, and visiting with his grandchildren, Gianna and Luca.
Since we began using Eterno Adjustable Paver Supports last fall, we’ve been very impressed with the ease of installation, which in turn has benefited us greatly by reducing our labor costs. In addition to the labor cost savings, compared to the other adjustable paver supports on the market, we’re very pleased with the self leveling head, which is a major advantage when adjusting the pavers. The unique adjustable key allows for adjustments without removing the pavers. Other paver supports do not have this feature and are more cumbersome and labor intensive.
Another benefit is the new bi-component head of soft rubber which reduces any noise when walking on the pavers and helps ensure no movement of the pavers. The Eterno Adjustable Paver Support system has given us an effective edge over our competition with the ease of installation and the savings on labor cost. We’re very pleased that we came across this product."
