Eldorado® is pleased to announce the appointment of David Noblitt as Sales Manager
Dave Noblitt has been chosen for the Sales Manager position with Eldorado after working with the company in a sales capacity for nearly 3 years. David has been in the adult industry for many years and brings a vast amount of knowledge and experience with him.

“I love the industry and I have the utmost respect for Eldorado. While I am going to miss the company and my associates, I have made the decision to relocate to warmer weather.” Connie Daeges stated regarding her decision to resign.%20and%20Dave%20(left)%20McPete%20Sez.jpg)
Larry Garland, Owner and CEO of Eldorado commented, “Connie has been invaluable to this organization for well over a decade and it is difficult to see her leave. I wish her the very best in all future endeavors. Moving forward, I’m really excited about Dave assuming a team leadership role in his new capacity as Sales Manager. Dave brings many years of management experience to this position. He is a pleasure to work with and we are all eager to see him grow and thrive with his new responsibilities.”
David Noblitt explained, “I am delighted about my new position with Eldorado. After all of my adventures in the business and stops along the way, I am thrilled that this will be my last and confident it will be my greatest.”
