Who We Are

Humble Beginnings, Rapid Growth 

PRESENCE was founded in 1990 by Bill Weiland and Christine Tzumas, who now operate as CEO and COO, respectively.

From its humble beginnings, PRESENCE quickly grew from a small Midwest-based natural and organic food brokerage to a national powerhouse with over 500 employees.

Amidst this great growth, Bill, Christine, and President Brian Naylor lead our passionate, mission-driven team and growing company, always driven by their shared mission to drive results for clients while striving to take better care of our planet and ourselves.
