CINCINNATI, OHIO – Venco Venturo’s Sales Rep Steve Overby is retiring from the company today. Overby spent nearly 9 years with Venco Venturo Industries, expanding the company’s territory across the United States by developing relationships and living up to its exceptional brand.

“I had a great time at Venco Venturo,” Overby said. “I got to see a lot of the country that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. I enjoyed the travel and the lifetime friends I made in the process.”

Overby, a Houston, Texas, native, joined Venco Venturo in September 2013 as a territory manager, covering Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Montana.

Prior to Venco Venturo, Overby served in a sales role with Terex from 2001. Before that, he held sales roles with Commercial Body Corp. and Truck Equipment and Service Sales. Sales, however, isn’t where Overby began his career.

After spending 6 years in the U.S. Coast Guard, he spent several years in hydraulic oilfield machinery manufacturing and eventually hydraulic crane service. In 1989, he joined Commercial Body Corp. as a hydraulic technician.

“When I was in my mid-30s, I wasn’t interested in sweating so much on the job anymore,” he said. “Summers are hot in Texas, so I got into parts sales and then outside sales.”

Overby, who is married with 3 daughters, plans to spend more time with his family and friends, while also focusing more on his small business – O-Y Ranch Coinsmiths. Through this business, Overby makes custom jewelry out of United States and foreign currency, such as coin rings and necklaces.

 “I’m glad I did what I did,” he said. “I’m leaving now so I have enough time to focus on friends and family.”
