Meet the Sales Engineers

David Pasmore
Sales Engineer

The harsh, rugged environment of a wellhead site can be problematic for some pressure transmitters, so Dave recommended a low-cost, durable solution. The SOR 805PT Pressure Transmitter is hermetically sealed, explosion proof and made of cast stainless steel. Dave knows something about durability – he’s been at SOR since 1997.

Don Taylor
Sales Engineer

After years of poor results using the latest technologies, an oil and gas producer asked Don to come up with a solution for a back-up device. Don suggested a less expensive, more reliable alternative – the SOR 702 Top-mounted Displacer Level Switch. Because he listened, Don was able to deliver a practical solution that proved to be extremely cost-effective for the customer.

Jack Stockton
Sales Engineer

In a coal-fired power plant, there are hazards everywhere – dust, steam, pulverizers, turbines, and more. Jack recommended the SOR line of hermetically sealed Mechanical Pressure products to overcome the unique problems a coal-fired power plant presents. Jack understands pressure. He’s also an expert at qualifying the level product you need for your application.

Jennifer Jursich
Sales Engineer

The US Navy depends on Jennifer to help supply them with sealed SOR Mini Hermet switches that are used in Naval sea sleds to detect and neutralize mines and keep the seas safe. The SOR switch is programmed to deactivate detonation systems at a certain level. Jennifer also works closely with many of our nuclear customers.

Joel Bradley
Director of Customer Service

Talk about a veteran – Joel has been with SOR since 1976! Joel even helped founder Roy Dunlap develop an SOR Differential Temperature Switch to monitor his home garage – when the inside temperature is greater than the outside temperature, the switch triggers a vent fan in the garage. 

Larry DeGarmo
Sales Engineer

Every industry has its own particular needs and demands. Phillip Morris USA Inc., is no exception. When Teflon or fluorocarbons come in contact with the tobacco-making process a toxic gas is produced, so Larry took special care to make sure that all SOR units, test equipment and adaptors used at the Phillip Morris plant were completely free of Teflon and fluorocarbons. 

Linda Coutts
Sales Engineer

Nuclear reactors require a pressure switch that can identify when the flow of water is below minimum and then shut off when normal system flow is achieved. To solve this problem, Linda recommended the SOR Series 141 Differential Pressure Switch. When it comes to solving the demands of the nuclear power industry, Linda is our in-house expert. 

Roy Stumbough
Sales Engineer

Roy worked with a textile manufacturer to provide a safety interlock switch that detects when the pressure is safe to open textile dying vessels. When the operator shuts the lid and pressurizes the vessel, an SOR Pressure Switch makes certain the pressure is correct. Roy is very well-rounded with expertise in level, temperature and flow instruments as well. 

Vicky Hogue
Sales Engineer

Vicky worked with SOR engineers to provide BP Exploration with SOR 802 Level Switches that measure the high pressure mud used to move natural gas back into the ground and seal the gas from coming back up. This process generally involves several thousand pounds of pressure. In addition to pressure devices, Vicky is also a specialist in the field of mechanical level instrumentation.
