USA - 2004 marks a 10-year anniversary at Martin Professional for Eric Loader, sales director of the company's top subsidiary sales department based in Florida. Loader's career started in a DJ supply store in the San Francisco bay area, followed by stints in Los Angeles with Towards 2000 (T2k) and American DJ Supply. In 1994 he was hired by Martin Professional to open a sales office in LA to serve the entire west coast. Three years later, he transferred to the Florida office to assume his current role of sales director.

Reflecting on his time at Martin Professional, Loader commented: "When I began, the RoboScan 1220 was our top product and DMX was just starting to be offered in our products. Martin was a strong player back then but certainly not a market leader. Then we went into expansion mode with changes in leadership, an expanding product line, reorganizations, lawsuits - we've had both successes and tough times over the years. I think what I have enjoyed most has been the relationships I have developed, from DJs to industry leaders and designers."
