Meet the Post Masters Staff

Gary Johnloz
Vice President

Gary brings more than 30 years of disparate senior management experience to Post Masters. Since graduating from Purdue University, Gary served as a pilot in the 122 Tactical Fighter Wing, Indiana Air National Guard, and founded and led project development for Engineering Consultants, Inc., a mechanical and electrical design company. He joined AWS in 1994 and is responsible for all strategic development and manufacturing at Post Masters, Highway Safety Specialists and the Blue Octopus Printing Company, all affiliates of AWRC.

Although he has limited time away from the office, Gary’s hobbies are as varied as his career. He gardens (and cans and freezes the harvest) and escapes brutal Indiana winters to visit his Florida condo. Around the Fort Wayne area, he can often be seen on his Harley and with his St. Bernard, “Gunner.”

Jeff Harris
Director

Jeff Harris brings a wide range of project management experience from both the private and public sectors to his role at Post Masters. In addition to directing operations at Post Masters, Jeff also serves as Director of Blue Octopus Printing Company, the full-service printing company housed under the same roof as Post Masters, Indianapolis.

Prior to joining Post Masters in 2007, Jeff oversaw customer service and quality control teams at a Fortune 500 Company. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Purdue University and an MBA from IIT. His allegiance continues for Purdue University – especially during basketball season. (Ask him about the time he jumped on former Purdue Coach Gene Keady when celebrating a win over Indiana.) Jeff spends a fair amount of off-work time on volleyball and tennis courts and cheers on the Indianapolis Colts between matches.

KJ Williams
Senior Account Executive

KJ is passionate about customer service. His two top goals are making sure customers are satisfied with the service they receive and that customers always have someone to speak with in their time of need. A Ball State University graduate, KJ relishes long-term, loyal partnerships. In fact, existing customers know his mobile is on 24/7 – just in case they have a question after normal business hours.

Todd Staszak
Data Services Manager

As Data Services Manager for Post Masters, Todd Staszak performs database conversions, works with mailing list certification and specialized application development, and is responsible for staying on top of the United States Postal System regulations to ensure Post Masters is meeting current standards and preparing for new rules before they take affect. 

A 16-year veteran of the organization, Staszak is a certified Mailpiece Design Professional and has worked in computer programming for 30 years.  He cites the two p’s as his favorite thing about Post Masters – working with great people to deliver a great product.

Outside of work, Todd is active in local theater.  Among his favorite roles are the Police Sergeant in "Pirates of Penzance", and Howie in the Indiana premiere of David Lindsay-Abaire's Pulitzer Prize winning play "Rabbit Hole".

Justin Weber

Andy Baden
Project Manager/Production Supervisor

Andy Baden recently returned to Post Masters after an 11-year hiatus.  Baden originally worked for the company from 1995 – 1999, and returned in 2010 as Project Manager/Production Supervisor. 

During his time away, Baden worked as Sorting Manager for Direct Group, Director of Operations for Harte Hanks Baltimore Targeted Mail and Production Supervisor for Mailing Services of Pittsburgh.  He also is a factory trained sorter technician for Böwe Bell + Howell, NPI, a manufacturer of sorting equipment, and PTI/Lockheed Martin, a data management solutions provider.

Baden loves working at Post Masters because he enjoys all of the wonderful people and the sense of accomplishment he gets when a project is done well and on time. 

Baden and his wife, Maritza, have two sons, Kenny, 10, and Michael, 6.  His love for aviation led him to obtain his private pilot’s license in 1992.

Jeff Birnell
Production Manager

Jeff Birnell works as Production Manager for Post Masters’ Indianapolis operations.  He has been with the company for over nine years. 

Before joining the Post Masters team, Birnell worked as Production Manager for Kirby Risk, overseeing the department that built electrical harnesses for Caterpillar equipment. 

Birnell loves the work he does at Post Masters and he says that the best part of his job is getting to work with such a great team of people each day. 

At home, Birnell trades the people for pets.  He has four “ornery” dogs, Blake, Bryce, Benjamin and Bruiser, who he says take him on walks.  Birnell loves the outdoors and enjoys camping.
