The staff inside the Big Green Warehouse

The team at PaulB Wholesale has diverse interests outside of work, from hunting to golf to raising Angus cattle. What they have in common is helping agricultural, industrial, mechanical and fleet service companies save money on supplies.

Jim Hostetter, President

Jim enjoys finding creative ways to get quality parts and supplies from reputable, reliable sources at good prices. His passion is sourcing products from the best manufacturers so that PaulB Wholesale offers excellent value to its customers. Outside of work, he likes hunting, biking, hiking, birdwatching, and running. He’s completed three half-marathons and organizes at least three 5K runs per year with his family, usually at a local park or trail. Recently, he motivated 21 members of his family to participate in a 5k.

Kory Musser, E-Commerce Coordinator

Kory has 15 years of sales experience and has served in virtually every role at PaulB Wholesale. He’s been a stock clerk, customer service representative, purchasing agent, shipping clerk and on-the-road salesman. He loves to travel and has visited nine countries in five continents, serving in missions trips but also spending vacation time at various destinations. A favorite is Jamaica. Kory enjoys golfing, and working on home projects. He’s redone much of his home. Lately, he and his 9-year-old son (one of 5 Musser children) are building bunkbeds.

Outside Sales Team

Kevin Auker

Kevin has been a salesman for about 35 years and has driven to Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana on behalf of PaulB Wholesale.

Dean Martin

Dean has about 5 years of sales experience and covers much of the Midstate and eastern Lancaster County. He enjoys hunting for whitetail during rifle, muzzleloader and archery season, and also enjoys fishing for trout locally and for striped bass in Montauk, Long Island. Much of his time outside of work is spent outdoors watching and cheering for his three children at soccer, lacrosse and softball games.

Lamar Garman

Lamar’s 2011 van has 185,000 miles on it. That’s just part of being in sales for more than 30 years. He has nearly as many years invested in preaching, too, serving members of Valley View Mennonite Church in Schoeneck. As an outside salesman, Lamar has driven as far as Wisconsin on behalf of PaulB Wholesale. He and his wife own a farmette and enjoy watching the deer, fox and geese that visit their property, which is also home to the Bichon Frise, Maltese and English bulldog puppies his wife raises.
