About Toth's Sports
S.C.Toth Inc. was founded in 1959 by Sam Toth under
the name of “Toth’s 3 Hour Laundry ". Even though the main focus was the
laundry and dry cleaning business, schools began contacting us to see if
we would consider cleaning and repairing their team uniforms. The
reconditioning of football helmets and shoulder pads soon followed. As
the need for replacement items under the schools' reconditioning budgets
came into play, we began our venture into the sale of team uniforms and
equipment.
In 1979, a retail store—“Toth's Sports”, was opened
in Henrietta with the institutional cleaning business moving into the back
half of the building. In 1987, the decision was made to concentrate solely
on the team business, which led to the move from the Henrietta area to
Victor, NY in 2001.
Our focus is on high schools, colleges, and clubs in
Western and Central New York. We have linked up with the very finest
manufacturers in the country who stand behind their products.
We exist to serve people and to build relationships.
There will never be a day when the dollar will get in the way of that
goal.

Lanse Toth: Owner
It has been my privilege over the years to work with some great people; my
dad, numerous athletic directors and coaches, and the people I work with
in the present. Everyone has a story and a destiny laid out for them.
Throughout that time, the single thing that I have appreciated most about
my job is that it has given me a way of helping and coming alongside some
of these people that have crossed my path.
There has been no greater friend or helper for me
than my wife, Amy. We have six kids that love the Lord and like to
spend most of their spare time with a soccer ball. The three older girls
are married, and we have already been blessed with a beautiful
granddaughter. |

Tim Beck: Sales
Representative
Having grown up & now raising a family in the upstate NY area is truly a
gift. Many of us have heard the stories about poor weather and lack of
sunshine but I don’t think I could ask for better place than this to bring
up a family. My wife and 3 children have blessed me with many special
memories as we travel this road called “life”. Work is a very important
part of who I am but my faith and my family makes everything else seem
relatively small in comparison.I feel quite fortunate to have worked at
Toth’s Sports for over 20 years and still get excited about each day.
Every customer can choose to work with many people like myself who do what
I do. I consider it a privilege and an honor that customers have chosen
to work with me. As long as customers continue to value service and
seeing examples of the products they are considering purchasing, I will
enjoy being a road salesman. Thanks for the privilege of being able to
service your athletic needs. |

Mark McAllister: Sales
Representative
Following my graduation from SUNY-Geneseo in 1986, I immediately began
working as a sales representative for Toth Sports. Over the past 20+ years
I have enjoyed the opportunity to work alongside some of the best
co-workers to help serve the needs of some of the nicest customers.
Spending time learning about my customers athletic equipment needs has
always been interesting but getting to know our customers and suppliers as
individuals has been even more rewarding. Learning about their families,
their vacations, their wins and their losses is a reason to come to work.
As a high school soccer player at Clarence High School (NY Section 6)
and the son of a high school coach of 31 years (Bob McAllister, Amherst
High School), my dream, since I was a child, to stay involved in sports my
whole life has been realized. My children, Tim and Katie are playing
sports every day. Attending their soccer, basketball and rugby games, with
my wife Karen takes up most of our time.
As the specialist at Toth’s Sports in the area of electronic
scoreboards, timing systems and electronic displays, I would be honored to
be your source of information. |

Rusty Knight: Sales
Representative
As of March 2008, I will have been a part of the Toth’s Sports team for
three years. My position on the team is an outside Sales Representative.
My territory spans from the western side of Rochester to Buffalo.I
count it a privilege to call Toth’s Sports my professional home, as Toth’s
Sports is a company built on core values of integrity, honesty and trust.
Not only do I desire to represent those qualities, but more importantly,
to live out those values day-in and day-out as I service my customers.
Prior to coming to Toth’s Sports in 2005, I served as an Admissions
Counselor and an Assistant Soccer Coach at Houghton College. Houghton is
where I earned my bachelor’s degree in business, and a minor in
communications. The highlight of my Houghton experience (by far) was
meeting my wife Sarah. We have been married for almost three years and
hope to have many more ahead of us. Sarah truly exceeds the saying, “My
better half.”
Outside of work, I enjoy watching The Office and Lost. (Michael Scott
always gives me a good laugh; Lost continues to frustrate me, while
pulling me back to find out what the heck is actually going on.)
Playing and coaching soccer are also favorite hobbies of mine. |

Allen James: Sales
Representative
As Toth’s Sports newest member, I hope to bring my experience and passion
for athletics, sporting goods, and marketing to the team. I first began
selling shoes at my family’s specialty running store at the age of 11. My
exposure to running and track & field led to my dream of competing in the
Olympic Games, which was fulfilled in 1992 & 1996. During these years I
worked for and represented Athletes in Action, which opened up many
opportunities to bless others.
Along with my wife and three children, we moved to Western New York
from the Albany area while I was employed with New York State Parks. I
grew up in the Northwest (Seattle) and my wife in the Midwest (Columbus)
we met in the Southwest (near Los Angeles) and lived in the Southeast
(near Atlanta) and the Northeast (Albany). As a family, we have fallen in
love with our rural life in Upstate NY. Working for Toth’s is an exciting
move for me coming back to my sporting goods roots. |
