Get to know Advanced Resources.

We are a group of hard working, dedicated professionals who are committed to providing quality staffing solutions to our clients and creating opportunities for our candidates.

Our goal is to be a strategic business partner delivering staff augmentation resources, direct hires, contract to hire and training solutions across multiple verticals throughout the country.

Meet our Leaders

CEO and Founder

Sonya Gotto

Boardroom meetings or Nordstrom shoe bonanzas, Sonya is all about closing the deal. Sonya thrives in an active environment and keeps busy with her two kids' sporting events. Running a business and being a cheerleader aren’t enough to keep Sonya busy, so add Board Member of KidSmart to the list of to-dos. Sonya delivers supplies to gyms full of kids and whips them into a frenzy over their new gear and the thrill of learning.  She whips our staff into a frenzy most Thursday mornings with Chick-fil-A breakfast minis!  A master of sales, don’t be surprised when a meeting with Sonya leads to a new contract or maybe to the dance floor.

President and COO

Frank Ehlers

Beep beep, if you are driving behind Frank you might need to use the horn!  Although Frank isn’t our speediest driver, he runs Advanced Resources like a well-oiled machine.  As one of the Founders, Frank knows his way around the boardroom, but is equally as comfortable behind the bbq grill or hanging out at the lake with his three children.  It is the two sides of Frank that allow him to form lasting relationships with our clients and make him a favorite among our team.  Next time you need a perfectly grilled steak or a Sunday football pal to help you cheer on the Steelers, Frank will be there.  Just call him an Uber so he doesn’t show up at halftime!

VP of Strategic Accounts

Tom Geolat

Golf anyone? Tom doesn’t do much to break the perception that the deal happens on the golf course. He is an avid golfer and his love for the sport has proven genetic, his daughter and wife are often found on the fairway. Tom’s goal is to not only bring in new clients, but to figure out how to work with our clients. Tom is a huge believer in partnership.  Tom works hard to ensure we are anything but run-of-the-mill, mentoring sales and support teams, proposing workforce solutions to our clients, and delivering on what was promised. What is a deal, without delivery? Tom brings not only experience to but a drive for excellence that makes us all want to work harder.
