DENNIS SMITH
VP OF SALES - IGC & PROJECT DIVISION
Dennis has been working at Campania since January 2014 and currently has the pleasure of overseeing our Garden Center customers, Trade sales, and our team of sales representatives. Campania's self-titled Man of Many Hats, though it would be more appropriate to call him the man of many shoes. Dennis is a bit of a sneaker head from growing up in Philadelphia during the age of early 90's hip hop. He is an impassioned golfer who can't putt to save his life, a huge Philadelphia sports fan, lover of anything that comes out of a food truck and designated as his family's homemade pizza maker. Dennis' mini goldendoodle, OB, will cuddle with anyone and makes him laugh. Red wine is superior to white. It's hard for a Gemini to pick a favorite anything, let alone a singular Campania item from our diverse range of products, but Dennis would single out the line of Girona water features. Simple and classy, just like Ron Burgundy.
Dennis' Favorite Product: Girona Fountain
