PHCPPros, a B2B multimedia company serving the professional plumbing, heating, cooling and piping (PHCP) community, is pleased to announce Tom Schulte has joined the team as an account executive. After completing training for his new role, Schulte will handle media sales in the Midwest and Southeast territories.

Schulte graduated from the University of Tennessee Knoxville in 2025, majoring in business management with a focus in entrepreneurship. Soon after, he developed a passion for the PHCP industry during an internship at manufacturers' rep firm Marsh & Moore. Schulte joins PHCPPros from Total Quality Logistics, where he further honed his sales skills as a freight broker. 

"In the spirit of many companies in the PHCP industry, we are excited to welcome the next generation to our family business,” said PHCPPros Principal Cate Brown. “As my nephew and the grandson of our founder, Tom Brown, I am certain Schulte will continue to drive our legacy and further strengthen the relationships we have built over the past 35-plus years.”

Schulte’s favorite aspect of sales is meeting new people and creating meaningful relationships.

"Every conversation is an opportunity to understand someone’s goals and find creative ways to achieve them,” said Schulte. “I can’t wait to help clients reach our engaged community and drive results through our various print and digital advertising opportunities.” 

Schulte looks forward to traveling to trade shows and meeting industry peers in person during the upcoming months. In his free time, he enjoys golfing, fishing, and spending time with family and friends in his hometown, Chicago.
