Summary

Twenty eight years now I have been in this field . In those twenty eight years I've worked with and for both terrible maintenance people and great maintenance people , the kind that you feel were just with born with a wrench in their hand so to speak . I've been taught many lessons by the greats , but more so for the not so great . I've learned that it's not your tools that make you a maintenance person but your ability to be patient , your willingness to listen is crucial and your attitude and effort will make it happen . A successful maintenance team is only as good as it's training , which I believe is crucial on any and every level of the team . If you do not evolve in this field , you will be left behind . Im a very safety oriented person and will hold not only myself accountable for safe practices but everyone around me as well . In closing I would like to say this , maintenance is not just what I do but it's who I am . The level of pride and respect I have for the trade is unmatched.
