We strive to produce and discover quality products that bring fun and inspiration into any learning environment. Our Story In 1994, as a physicist, adjunct professor and gadgeteer, Michael Doctoroff (founder) left a secure job and began making picture frames for the increasingly popular office cubicles. Convinced the product would be a hit, he sought his wife's blessing and converted a bedroom and basement into an office and warehouse. Office Images, Inc. was born. One day, amidst the orders for 10 and 25 frames, in came two orders for 500 frames! Mike agreed to sell these volumes if the buyers would tell him how they planned to use them. Both gave the same answer: "My trainers like to distribute their certificates in them." Within months, Doctoroff renamed the company Trainers Warehouse and embarked on a mission to find or create products that would enable trainers to do their job better. Incredible Growth The company's first catalog was a 12-page, blue, black and white edition, with no more than 50 or so unusual office products, including our early versions of the QubeFrame. Over the past few years, the catalog has grown to a 48-page full-color resource that's loaded with helpful Training Tips, by and for trainers. We offer over 350 products, including more than 100 exclusive offerings – our so-called "Trainers Creations" -- products the company has designed, developed and sold because trainers said they needed them. In addition, Trainers Warehouse has welcomed to the family over  twenty employees who assist with order fulfillment, office administration, marketing, shipping, and product assembly.

Doctoroff was educated at Williams College with BA and MA degrees in Physics. He received an MBA degree from RIT while working at Bausch & Lomb in 1972. For the first 15 years of his career, he served as a practicing physicist, doing research and development primarily in the area of vacuum deposition of thin films for optical and microelectronics purposes. Mike's managerial skills were developed and strengthened while serving as a General Manager at Bausch and Lomb (1970-1977), the President of Balzers Corporation (1977-1981) and the VP of Strategic Planning and Engineering at Tokheim Corporation (1982-1984). Before starting the Company, he served as a self-employed consultant (1985-1986). His humor (or lack thereof—according to his daughter), is hard-wired into his genes. Sue Doctoroff Landay, President Mike Doctoroff, Chairman and Founder President Susan Doctoroff Landay, President, is responsible for all Internet strategy, mailing, design, and other promotional efforts and oversees customer service activities.

Susan completed her undergraduate work at Yale University ('86) and received a graduate degree in management from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University ('92). Early work experiences included advertising account work and marketing a computer hardware product. And at one point Susan performed as a clown for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Susan values using humor to enhance presentations.  _____________________________________ Are you having trouble finding the product you need?
