About O'Reilly

Meet Steve Hazelwood
Regional Sales Manager

Steve Hazelwood is without doubt the most charismatic member of our Customer Service team, and is currently responsible for the South and Midwest territories and all Folletts accounts. Always capable of bringing out smiles and fresh approaches to situations, Steve strikes a great balance between professionalism and keeping things lively. Steve started with O'Reilly last year when he moved to California from Oklahoma, where he previously worked for America Online (AOL) and was also a volunteer fireman for the Forest Park Fire Department. As a fireman, one of Steve's most memorable calls was rescuing a skunk from a rental storage unit!

Among his peers, Steve is known as an excellent backup. Besides his current South & Midwest territories, in the past year he's also taken care of the Canadian and Western U.S. regions, processed returns, and he's currently the intranet webmaster for the Customer Service Department.

On a personal level, Steve can be found water-skiing on Lake Sonoma, wine tasting throughout the beautiful Sonoma-Napa wine country, dancing at local nightspots, and of course reading O'Reilly books! The women he's met so far in California have been a bit too crazy for his liking, but he's holding out hope that he'll meet that one special girl soon. To know Steve is to hear all about his latest adventures. He also likes to spend lots of time with his pit bull Happy. "Happy lives up to his name. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body and loves to go to the lake. He has been known to ride (across the lake) on an inner tube, but his favorite pastime is finding the biggest stick or chasing tennis balls. I built him a tennis ball cannon, but he didn't like it. They were being shot too far." And his kinship with Tim the Tool Man Taylor doesn't stop there. He also builds radio-controlled cars with speeds up to 65 mph, and races them through the parking lots of O'Reilly's new offices.

Whether it's his hard work or his creativity, we all value Steve's contributions to the O'Reilly family.
