Gregg Schwartz, President A/E Trade, began his career at IPC/Levy Appraisers & Auctioneers, which was his stepping-stone to becoming an accredited appraiser certified by the Association of Machinery & Equipment Appraisers (AMEA). In 2000, Gregg was recruited by Comdisco Inc. NYSE: CDO to provide the intellectual property for the development of Comdisco Manufacturing Solutions (CMS). Gregg as Vice President directed the business unit, surpassing key milestones making it the fastest growing start up in the division. CMS was a technology trading and finance business unit that provided flexible acquisition solutions, equipment lifecycle management, and disposition strategies to top tier corporations, helping them increase their return on net asset performance. Lon Goldman, President, A/E Auction Services has a 40-year background in the industrial machine tool business. He has spent time in Europe and the U.S. working with major manufacturing concerns on both the acquisition and disposition of their machine tools and related plant equipment. Lon has been instrumental in the trade of approximately $100,000,000.00 of industrial assets. He later acquired the Norman Levy Company, which grew to be one of the world’s largest international industrial auction houses. Jordan Lohn, Vice President, A/E Trade began working in his family’s company, Lohn Machinery Co., Inc. Jordan rapidly developed an appreciation of the technical aspects of machine tool use and machine shop practice, and by the late 1980’s he came to be regarded among machinery dealers as an individual who could be counted on to fairly and accurately represent the equipment in which he dealt. In the 1990’s, working along with Raco Industrial Corp., Jordan acted as project manager for several large-scale machine tool retrofits. These projects highlighted his ability to integrate human and technical resources, enabling quality results to be achieved within extreme time constraints and without budget compromises. After taking time off from the business beginning in 2000 Mr. Lohn subsequently returned to his roots as a machine tool dealer, working as a salesman at Gray Machinery Co. for a portion of 2003. Seizing an opportunity to more thoroughly highlight his range of skills he joined the Asset Exchange Corp. in late 2003. Mitchell Zamost, President A/E MWT Division has been trading machine tools and fabricating equipment worldwide since 1987. Mitchell has been active in the Machinery Dealers National Association since 1997. Mitchell has been active in developing international trade relationships, with a focus in Latin America. He was a pioneer in the formation of the Norman Levy Online Auction Company, now DoveBid Business Auctions. Mitchell was also Director of Business Development for Esprocket.com. Mark Harris, Vice President, Sales AE Trade brings 10 years experience to Asset Exchange Inc. Asset Exchange had attempted to recruit Mark for 4 years and is proud to finally announce his arrival early May 2005. Mark previously led the sales force at Machinery Supply Inc & CFI Technologies. Both companies were stocking dealers for new & used CNC machinery. Mark has specialization in Cnc Chip making including Cnc Machining Centers and Turning Centers as well as Cnc Boring Mills. Mark also has a vast knowledge of manual equipment machine tools and fabricating. Mark practiced in the MDNA (Machinery Dealers National Association) for six years and continues to adhere to the ethical guidelines of this trade association. Asset Exchange is looking to Mark to play a key role in the '05 trade organization expansion. Edna Alvarado, Executive Administrator, AE Trade came to Asset Exchange Inc in 2004 with 3 years in the auction and appraisal business with Koster Industries. Prior to working with us, Edna was part of the International Department at Comdisco Inc. Edna worked closely with the department heads in the equipment leasing business units.

Steven Vasquez, Junior Asset Manager, Sales, AE Trade, was acquired from the quality and inspection department at Ford Visteon. Since his arrival in early 2006, Steven has been active in the procurement and sale of metalworking machinery, fabricating equipment, and CNC and plastic injection molding machines. As of 2009, Steven continues to make a significant contribution in maintaining Asset Exchange’s competitive edge. Scott Tyler, A/E Auctions and Appraisals, Scott the newest member to the appraisal group has six years experience in the Machine Tool, Plastics and Packaging industry. Scott has worked for 3 MDNA members and has gathered significant experience in the trade.
