Taylor Schmidt

Regional Sales Director

U.S. / SOUTHWEST
Taylor Schmidt brings excellent experience and knowledge of all things asphalt to his role as business development manager for the company. His experience in mix design and placement started from the ground level up on paving crews.

At Titan Transportation he gained experience in sales and dispatch and continued advancing in this area during a later tenure at California Commercial Asphalt (CCA). There he rose from dispatcher and inside salesman to handling all inside and outside sales as well as trouble-shooting jobs. A go-getter by nature, Taylor sold one million tons of asphalt and a combined 500,000 gallons of sealcoat and emulsion for CCA.

Later, as sales manager at Escondido Materials, he broke all prior sales records by putting customer needs first and ensuring the delivery of a quality product. His intense focus on quality helped reduce the amount of bad material credits by 95 percent.

His experience also includes a stint at World Oil Refining where he handled sales of paving and roofing grade asphalts statewide.

Taylor’s dedication to putting the needs of customers first, plus his knowledge of all aspects of asphalt paving, fits well with Surface Tech’s commitment to excellence in providing asphalt solutions that build stronger, longer-lasting pavements.
