VERO BEACH, FL - Florida citrus company IMG Citrus has added industry veteran and former NFL tight end GT Parris to its North American sales force. Parris joined IMG’s sales team effective August 3.
“I missed the Florida Citrus business. It is what I have always known and loved. I had a great opportunity to get back in it with IMG and I jumped at the chance to work with an industry leader,” said new sales team member, Parris. “I really like their long-term optimism and dedication to the business.”
Since playing in the NFL for the San Diego Chargers, Cleveland Browns and St. Louis (Arizona) Cardinals, Parris has had a long career in the produce industry.

“We are very excited to have GT join our team,” said IMG Director of Sales, Matt Reel. “He exemplifies our company values has a passion for the business.”
Reel continued by emphasizing his view that Parris will be an asset for both IMG and its customers.
