MEET JULIE GELLEY
Does Julie's name sound familiar? As an important member of our customer service team, she's been assisting her customers with all quotes, orders and questions!

Julie joined the ARP family in December of 2017. She really enjoys learning about the many products that we offer and the new systems we are working with this year.

In her previous roles, Julie worked as an International Customer Service Rep and as a travel agent for 21 years! These positions gave her great experience working with all kinds of people and personalities. We are lucky to have Julie on our team now!

Julie is married with 2 dogs and 5 rescue cats! She adores her pets and has a big heart for all animals. When it's warm out, you can expect Julie to be hiking with her dogs or gardening. When our Buffalo weather turns cold, she's on the slopes skiing or snowshoeing at any chance she gets!
Every month, we will highlight a different member of our team!
