Born and raised

A salesman who has been around the block a few times. Started in this business at 16 and has been in sales for 36 years to be exact. Victor has an unwavering dedication, making sure service is on point, consistent and meets the customer’s needs.

The only thing larger than Victor’s role at Lawless is the size of his heart. Coupling his dedication with his deep concern for the people around him, he is a driving force that keeps Lawless moving successfully forward. As VP of Sales, Victor leads business strategy for our customers.

Basically, Victor is a can-do guy with a lot of heart. He makes sure things get done and jumps in daily to make it happen. Call that role what you will: Driven Leader, Committed Quartermaster, or Jack of All Trades. We’re just thankful he looks out for us and our customers.

When he’s not making it happen at Lawless you can find him fishing, woodworking and spending time with family. He’s a skilled craftsman who built his own house!

So, really: how can he help you?

Lynn Grado does what needs to be done and has been since 1995. He has worked in all aspects of the business from purchasing to customer service to sales and warehousing. His experience, dedication and loyalty have been vital to the Lawless Group.

Today Lynn is the Director of Warehouse Operation, responsible for directing all warehouse operations including inventory, shipping, and receiving. He manages the team and oversees that all inventory is picked, packed, and ready to be loaded for shipment in the most efficient way possible.

Lynn has dedicated his life to service. Service to supporting our troops, service to our customers and service to his family. Service that gets the job done and moves more product. Service we are honored he gives tirelessly, each and every day.

When Lynn is not moving product, you can find him moving up and down the road. Whether on a long Harley ride with his wife Linda or burning the road to visit their 5 children and 14 grandchildren. When not on the road you’ll find them with a margarita in hand and of course chips and dip. We’ll raise our glass to that and a job well done!
