Our Team
Robert Williams
- Founder; Retired
Bob was born and spent his adolescent
years in the small town of Brawley, California.
Bob’s agricultural career began right after high
school when he went to work for Valley Irrigation in
the Imperial Valley of California. He started his
career at the bottom of the ladder and steadily
gained responsibility within the organization. Bob
became the branch manager within a few years.
In
1978 Bob and his family relocated to Southern Idaho.
He had a burning desire to try his hand at farming
and farmed for four years. Commodity prices were
low and interest and land rent was high, so Bob
decided to make a change. He applied for a sales
position with a major shipper and spent 6 years there.
At
the age of 50, Bob made a bold move when he started
his own company:20/20 Produce Sales. The first year
of business for Bob and 20/20 Produce was pretty
lean, but Bob never lost focus of his goals and
passion to make the business work. The company grew
steadily and went from just a few loads a week to
several loads a day. Realizing the need for more
personnel to handle the growing needs of the
business, Bob approached his son Mark, and convinced
him to join the business. Bob and Mark never looked
back. Last year the company hit it’s highest sales
volume ever.
Bob is a loving husband, father, and grandfather.
He is a true salesman at heart. He is proud of what
20/20 Produce has become, and he looks forward to
watching the next generation take the company he
started to new levels.
Mark Williams
- President
Mark was born and raised in the
agriculture rich Imperial Valley of Southern
California. His father’s career relocation brought
him to the mountains of Southern Idaho when he was
15. Mark completed high school and later attended
Boise State University, all while working as a farm
manager during the summer months.
Mark enlisted and served in the US Air Force, which
eventually led to a decade of work as a Federal
Agent for the Department of Justice.
In
1994, Mark returned to Idaho to raise his children
and joined his father at the newly formed 20/20
Produce Sales, Inc. Mark and his father, Robert
Williams, successfully developed and implemented
their vision for 20/20 Produce. Their philosophy was
simple: to provide unequaled customer service and
superior products, while developing long-term
sustainable alliances. In 2004, Mark was promoted
to President and Chief Operating Officer, a position
he currently maintains. His passions include his
family, playing guitar, fishing, and golf.
