Staff Spotlight: Jessica Glumac

VIPERIZER STAFF SPOTLIGHT
Meet the faces behind Team Viperizer!


You could say that our manager, Jessica Glumac, is the glue that holds Viperizer Racing together.  Jessica’s duties extend from packing orders that ship all over the world, to answering phone calls and handling customer correspondence.  If you have made a phone call to the Viperizer office, there’s a good chance that you’ve chatted with Jessica.

Jessica and her husband, Lou, will be married ten years this month.  The pair lives in Center Township/Monaca, Pennsylvania, with their three cats and a bunny. 

On the weekends, they can be found golfing, swimming in their pool, or trying their luck at the casino.  Jessica also collects penguins (she reportedly has thousands) and enjoys going to flea markets and craft shows to hunt for more.

Jessica graduated from Western Beaver High School in 2000 and went on to earn her associate’s degree from Pittsburgh Technical Institute (PTI).  She has been working for us so long that she’s unsure of when she started!  Jessica worked for the company under its previous ownership and continued her role after we became known as “Viperizer Racing.”  She has been helping us to run smoothly ever since. 

Of all the enjoyable aspects of working for Viperizer, Jessica most appreciates the ability to get to know customers from all over the world.


Please join us in showing Jessica appreciation for all she does to make Viperizer Racing successful!
