Meet The Team

Billy Torello
Billy Torello
Principal Member

The answer is yes! He does in fact never run out of energy. I thought I’d clear that up first, as it’s the first question always asked. Billy is mean green environmental cleaning machine. In addition to all of the singing and dancing around the office he still finds the time to maintain his impeccable fashion sense. You may have no environmental concerns - but I’d recommend still calling, just for fun! You’ll never laugh so hard.

The only time you can catch Billy in slow mode is during hot yoga. We look forward to his weekly demonstrations.

Peggy Manalis
Peggy Manalis
Director of Finances

Peggy our "Greek Goddess" has been a welcomed addition to the Pro-Teck team along with all of her quirky habits. (ie: eating hot chocolate mix plain, to satisfy her sweet tooth minus the calories of adding Milk) Nonetheless, we are having a hard time figuring out if she is better at calculating the companies finances or counting her daily calorie intake.

As if she didn't already fit in, she is now a new dog mom! That's right- she is a proud member of the K-9 mom society, when she is not tormenting Billy, you can find her and her Great Dane daughter, "Lola" gallivanting through various dog parks or hanging out with her rather large knit of Greek relatives. OPA!

Jennifer Mancini
Director of Operations

Jen, aka Mrs. Sunshine, is our delicate flower of the office, but just because she’s sensitive doesn’t mean you won’t catch her keeping the office in line (making sure things are done her way), telling our customers how she “rolls” and keeping our vendors on their toes. Jen our approvals/office lunch coordinator sure knows how to get the job done as she is well seasoned in the waste industry. On a few select jobs, hand selected by Jen of course, you’ll see her put on those boots and run the show herself.

If you really want to know how to drive her nuts, we’ll let you in on our secret. Whisper or Laugh and don’t tell her what it’s about; the curiosity always gets her. But shhhh….don’t tell Jen!

Rob Ives
Rob Ives
On-Site Project Manager

Rob is our premier onsite project manager, who knows how to get the job done. He is the "golden child" of our office, and can do no wrong. Rob feels his name is hard to spell, and has no problem letting you know it's R-O-B when you call.

Don't get caught throwing away a soda can or battery with this obsessed recycler around! Rob lives his life "green" and wants to teach other people to do the same. He is even a fan of "The Green Network" on TV. When Rob isn't thinking about recycling bins, he is putting his new mountain bike to use! After hours of research he has finally found his dream Huffy bike. (And after 5 minutes of searching the web, he’s adopted a new dog, Buddy!)

Lauren Van Growski
Lauren Van Growski
Director of Business Development

Where to start? Well for those who might not know Lauren she is Pro-Teck’s first employee. As a veteran of the group, she is in charge of all of our Sales, Customer Relations, our Website and she’ s the Party Organizer and Marketing Manager. What a joy it is to work with someone like Lauren, she takes on life with the same approach everyday which is a radiant smile and a “bubblelicious” personality.

When Lauren isn't working, she’s playing with her two wrinkly English bulldogs and driving around belting out high notes and attempting to match the octave range of Mariah Carey. Lauren has a very positive outlook on life which she is trying to spread to the rest of the office. (It’s a slow moving operation!)

Theresa Archangelo
Theresa Arcangelo
Business Development Associate

Theresa or “Tree” is part of our Business Development Department and works closely with Lauren assisting in sales, marketing and customer relations.

Tree is our office celebrity! Take a drive down I-95 or I-91 and you could spot her on a billboard. Really!

Theresa our office vegetarian, enjoys hanging out with friends, cuddling with her dog “Gizzy” and having her hair extensions styled.
One of Theresa’s secret talents is Yodeling; but you didn’t hear that from me!!

Luis Martinez
Luis Martinez
On-Site Project Coordinator

Now that Luis has been with us a full two years we can tell you a few things about him. Luis may look big and macho from the outside, but on the inside he is just a sweet sensitive Sally, his heart is just as big as his biceps. Once he reads this, we will be getting the silent treatment for about 5 days..because we hurt his “man feelings!” Luis is just as helpful to the girls in the office as he is to our clients on a job site. He can build filing cabinets, change headlights on our cars, carry anything too heavy and take out the trash!

During football season, you will see Luis wearing his NY Jets jersey. When they win he is a diehard fan, when they lose he hates them. Win or lose Luis still proclaims his love for their Spanish quarterback Sanchez as Luis puts it he is "representing for Spanish people." Besides sports, Luis loves spending time with his family and spoiling his fiancé and daughter.

Billy “Junior” Torello
Billy “Junior” Torello
On-Site Project Coordinator

Junior is our office gentlemen, he’s always ready to lend a helping hand and just like his father, he never sits still!

With Junior in the office, it really is a breath of fresh air. Not only because he is brand new, but due to his extensive cologne collection.

Just because he is the owner’s son, doesn’t mean he gets any special treatments. At times, he is known to run circles around the veterans!

Outside of the office, he is an amazing husband and father of two boys and is known to be the funny Dad at school field trips. Maybe that’s because he is a big kid at heart himself! Again, just like his Dad!

Jennifer DeCataldo
Jennifer DeCataldo
Administrative Assistant

Jen, most commonly known as "JD" has the biggest and brightest smile in the office. However, we are unable to see it until about 10:00 am. Do not call her before then to talk about invoicing or anything else for that matter! Once the afternoon rolls around and as long as she isn't shivering from the cold office, feel free!

We love hearing about Jen's wide array of pets, including her dog, bunny, lizards and our favorite, her ferret named "Stinky." Jen's love for animals goes beyond home and onto the computer. She will help anyone tend to their farm on the game “Farmville” if they ask nicely! After work you can catch Jen at the gym taking out any aggression and punching away at her daily kickboxing classes!

Jamie Torello
Jamie Torello
Honorary Member

Jamie does not actually work at Pro-Teck. She does not answer phones, nor does she fax or e-mail, she does not file paperwork and she definitely does not do dishes. Jamie’s job is to stop by unannounced, eat all our food, use our computers and pump her dad for money. However… since she is so darn cute and because we all love her we have made her an honorary member of the Pro-Teck team and feel she absolutely deserves a place on our web site!
