CRP Automotive presented the award to Dresser during the 2022 AAPEX Show in Las Vegas, NV.

“Steve has leaned in and represented CRP at various key customers.  His attention to detail and knowledge aligns with CRP’s vision and values,” noted Ryan.

Dresser accepted the award on behalf of Hirsig-Frazier, noting that the accomplishments in 2022 were the result of a team effort.

Steve first entered the automotive aftermarket as a Dayco factory rep in Southern California in 1982.  He later joined Parker Automotive (Plews / Edelmann, Roberk, Ideal & Stant) in the San Diego area.  As the parent company changed ownership, internal growth opportunities arose and Steve eventually moved to Chicago and then on to Denver, CO taking on various sales management roles along the way.  Steve joined Hirsig-Frazier, a Rep Principle, as President in July 2011.
