Dynamark Hires New Director of Sales

Greg Peninger hired as director of sales for the southern USA

Dynamark Security Centers has hired Greg Peninger as their new director of sales for the southern region of the USA.

“Due to the steady growth of Dynamark’s footprint, the addition of a director of sales for the southern USA was needed,” said Hank Groff, Senior Vice President of Sales and Business Development. Peninger has over 20 years’ experience in the alarm industry, working with notable industry leaders as Ranger American of San Antonio. He has also owned his own security and home automation company, serving throughout the state of Texas, and Peninger is the current vice president on the board of the TBFAA. “We reviewed many exceptional candidates; however Greg was the solid choice,” said Groff.

Peninger will oversee all sales channels of Dynamark’s southern region, which encompasses states reaching from Florida through Texas. “The southern region is one of our fastest growing markets, so it made sense for us to hire a director that had a vast amount of experience working in these markets. Greg’s knowledge in this industry will be a huge advantage to help our southern dealers and partners grow their current business,” Groff added. Dynamark has partnered with over 100 alarm dealers in the southern region.

Greg Peninger lives in Central Texas with his wife Susan and three sons. He enjoys outdoor activities including golf, camping, and fishing.

Dynamark Security Centers, a Five Diamond central station, was founded in 1975 in Hagerstown, MD. The goal of the company is to support the independent alarm dealer to become successful in all aspects of their business. Besides central station monitoring, Dynamark offers account purchases, financial loan programs, sales and marketing training, as well as a menu of unique monitoring services.
