John H. Gallen Jr. is an entrepre-neur with a proven track record of successful and honest business practices. With a background in office furniture, John established EthoSource with the idea of providing pre-owned office furniture and liquidation services to businesses. In 2001, John purchased his first inventory of office furniture and immediately began selling. What began as a one-room office in PA quickly expanded to operations totaling 200,000 square feet between a manufacturing facility and two retail locations.
John’s mission for EthoSource is to provide pre-owned and new office furniture at significant cost savings, while support-ing customers with complete design, project management and furniture liquidation services. The key to the company’s success has been to consistently exceed our customer’s ex-pectations.
Though formally educated at Georgetown and Villanova Universities, he learned the business through hands-on expe-rience with liquidations, project management and sales. The “secret” to John’s success has been to maximize value for cus-tomers, create an environment heavily focused on providing unmatched customer service and project management and to consistently pay all vendors on time, as agreed. His reputation in the business speaks for itself.

SARAH MCDANIELDirector, Facilities Services Division Sarah McDaniel is a dedicated and detailed project manager whose projects clearly benefit from her involvement. Educated in Political Science at Bloomsburg University of Pennsyl-vania, Sarah realized very quickly in her ca-reer that her place was in the private business sector.
With John Gallen as her mentor, Sarah has quickly accumulated five years of valuable furniture industry experience in project management, product development, sales, logistics, accounting, business analysis and resource management. She has been heavily involved in the growth of EthoSource from where it was in 2008 to about twice its size and revenue in 2015.
As a liquidation project manager, Sar-ah has executed large scale projects on tight timelines with admirable levels of efficiency and actionable communication. Her ability to work closely with necessary personnel to accomplish project goals has impressed all who have worked with her. A few of Sarah’s project listings include:
Vanguard- Wayne, PA Uquidation 1200 Workstations, 2000 Lateral Files, 1800 Chairs and 48 Private Offices were removed over 23 days, and involved coordination be-tween a furniture dealer, movers, an installa-tion team, Vanguard personnel, electrical and data contractors, security and logistics crews. Mechoshade- Long Island, NY Installation Four phased furniture removal and new furniture installation project where existing product was removed and refurbished office furniture was installed over several months. The project required coordination with cli-ent personnel, a general contractor, instal-lation crews, logistics companies, electrical and data subcontractors and various
vendors providing and delivering new prod-ucts on-site.
AT&T- Alpharetta, GA Liquidation1600 Workstations removed from two adjacent buildings over the course of eigh-teen days. Arrangements were made with the client, a partnering furniture dealer, an installation group, a moving crew, security and logistics personnel and a commercial realtor.
BLAKE BOTVIN Procurement Manager Blake is a detail-oriented and pragmatic individual, applying these traits to every project he manag-es. He received a degree
from Green Mountain College, and has since assumed a number of responsiblities, provid-ing him a broad range of experience as both a buyer and project manager. About 5 years after graduating, Blake met John Gallen who convinced him that there is a career in buying, selling and re-man-ufacturing “cubicles.” Now, 14 years later, he continues to lead a successful career in the office furniture industry.
Over the years, Blake has filled the roles of Procurement Manager, Liquidation Specialist and Wholesale/Retail Sales Man-ager. His experience includes a vast working knowledge of all brands and lines of both sys-tems furniture and freestanding case-goods, such as seating, desks, filing and more.
Blake’s primary goals at EthoSource include the constant search for pre-owned Herman Miller Ethospace inventories to purchase for stock, while maintaining the proper inventory levels for our 100,000 sq. ft. facility. Although this is no small task, Blake is also very involved with the purchase, project management and sales of furniture inventories on a nationwide scale.
