I have worked at Midco for about 10 years now.
I have about 30 years of experience as a tire technician under my belt.
I got started as a tire technician by answering an ad in the newspaper that was advertising a job for a forklift tire technician.
I think that what I like the most about my job is all the travel it entails. I get to travel all around eastern Washington as well as parts of Oregon and meet a lot of different people.
The family atmosphere at Mid Columbia Forklift is great and, believe it or not, pretty unique.
While I do have so much experience as a tire technician, working with forklifts presents its own unique challenges. It’s fun and rewarding.
In my free time, I can probably be found spending time with friends and family.
My favorite sports team is the Las Vegas Raiders. My favorite type of restaurant is a steak house.
I’m fun to hang out with and a very caring person.
