Erik MacPherson’s Summary
After 10 years in high-end IT sales, I decided to use my skills to start my own company. I'm passionate about dogs and embraced the $41 Billion pet industry. TMC Pet Vending Solutions was formed two years ago and specializes in the most innovative pet products from around the world. I've traveled the world to find the next best thing in self serve dog washing and the ride has been amazingly rewarding from a number of perspectives.
