Leadership Team

Shawn Puster

President & CEO

My focus is to build and maintain excellent relationships between the manufacturers we represent and the customers we serve. I achieve this by being in the field daily to understand what our customer’s needs and expectations are so we can provide solid insight to our manufacturers. After 35 years in the building materials arena, I keep an open mind in the present and look to the future to help make the adjustments needed to allow our company to be successful.

My wife Joanne and I have 5 adult children. We enjoy outdoor activities, traveling and spending time with family and friends.

Jo Puster

Owner/Sales

I have spent most of my life in sales of various kinds. I owned and operated a coffee shop for 10 years, spent a few years in food sales and am now a realtor. Honesty and integrity are extremely important to me, along with good communication. I enjoy working with people and helping them meet their needs.

My husband Shawn and I have five adult children that we love to spend time with. I enjoy traveling, hiking, biking and finding new experiences. My happy place is the beach. I also volunteer with a local social justice organization with my daughter Rys. The two most important things in my life are my relationship with God and my family.

Rys Weaver

General Manager

I knew I found the career for me on the first day of my high school accounting class. I went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from Kent State University. My roles in both public and private industry accounting over the past twelve years, have taught me a variety of skills that I incorporate in my role today.

My goal is to provide valuable financial information to assist in executing successful operational strategies.
I currently reside in Florida, with my Yorkie Italia. When I’m not spending time with friends and family, I enjoy kayaking, biking and working with a local social justice organization.

Jeff McMahan

Director of Sales

My passion for building material and hardware sales comes from a place of being around it most of my life. I vividly remember making sales calls with my dad from an early age. I have spent 20+ years in sales after an early career in education. My sales career began with hardware, lawn and garden, farm and greenhouse distribution. After leaving distribution, I have spent the last 7+ years representing various manufacturers and still enjoy building relationships with old, current and new customers.

In my down time, I love to spend time with my daughter and 2 sons. I also enjoy music, the great outdoors and playing as much golf as possible.

Larry Miller

Territory Manager

I grew up working with my dad in our family’s garage door business. Even before I finished school, I was learning to install doors. I spent the next 40+ years learning every aspect of the industry from installation, service, repair, and sales. All these skills helped me when I purchased the company and continued growing what my dad started. I later sold the business, but continued working there in sales, which is the role I love the most. In my career, I have built and maintained solid relationships with customers and suppliers alike, some beginning 40 years ago.
My wife Carol and I have two adult children, one dog, two grandchildren and one grand-puppy. When I’m not spending time with them, I enjoy hunting, fishing and playing softball.

The last ten years of work have given me opportunities to develop skills and a love for business administration with a focus on bookkeeping and finance.

I’ve enjoyed problem solving, developing new administrative processes, and applying these to a growing and ever evolving finance and administrative department. I’m excited to be with Aurora Sales and support the administrative team in this way.

I live in Ohio with my husband, three year old son and we are expecting another baby boy at the end of this year. When I’m not working, I enjoy playing outside with my son, family adventures to local eateries and lazy weekends at home together.
