MakoRabco, a nationwide leader in self-storage design and construction, announces the appointment of Tim Ashford as Vice President of Sales. In this role, Ashford will lead the company’s national sales organization while also directly supporting customers in Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming.
Ashford brings more than 25 years of building-products industry experience to MakoRabco. He will oversee the company’s sales strategy, team development and customer engagement initiatives, helping further strengthen MakoRabco’s position as a trusted partner for self-storage developers across the United States.
Throughout his career, Ashford has demonstrated a unique ability to bridge technical expertise with strategic sales leadership. Beginning his career as a hands-on installer and advancing to executive leadership, he developed a comprehensive understanding of the entire customer journey — from product selection and design coordination to installation and long-term facility performance. 
He has held leadership roles at industry-leading organizations including Nice North America, Raynor and Overhead Door Corporation, where he consistently drove revenue growth through process optimization, team development and customer-focused sales strategies.
Ashford is also the author of “3P Selling: Aligning People, Product, and Process for Your Best Results,” establishing himself as a thought leader in sales methodology within the building-products sector. His consulting work further refined his approach to aligning talent development, product expertise, and systematic process improvement — principles he will apply in advancing MakoRabco’s national sales initiatives.
His experience spans multiple product categories, including garage doors, access control systems, rolling security shutters and metal building solutions. Combined with his track record of developing high-performing dealer networks and scalable sales processes, Ashford is well positioned to support MakoRabco’s continued expansion in the competitive construction market.
“Tim brings a rare combination of technical knowledge, leadership experience, and a genuine passion for helping customers succeed,” said Angie Guerin, Executive Vice President “His understanding of both the product and the people side of construction makes him an excellent fit for MakoRabco and for the clients we serve nationwide.”
Based in Colorado’s Black Forest area, Ashford has been married for 26 years and is a proud father of three sons. An ultrarunner, he also coaches fellow athletes through Deliverance Running and remains actively involved in church ministry.
