Executive Officer of ComSonics, Inc. He is a native of the
Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, spending 50 years plus in the
Bridgewater community. Mr. Zimmerman attended Turner Ashby High

starting a new business in his basement. Over the next 15 years,
he performed field engineering and consulting duties to the cable
television industry. During the next 10 years, Mr. Zimmerman held
positions as Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Vice
President of Operations, and Executive Vice President and Board
member. Today, as one of the original ‘boys from the basement,’
he provides leadership and guidance at ComSonics, Inc., as the

organization providing specialized test equipment and services to
the telecommunications industry. ComSonics is 100% owned by its
employees through an ESOP. This environment challenges management
to provide leadership and cooperation, because every employee is
also a stockholder.
