Q. FUN QUESTION? (WHAT’S

YOUR FAVORITE SUPERHERO AND WHY? WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING IN THE RENTAL INDUSTRY? WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO OUTSIDE OF WORK?

A. One of the best parts of being in the rental industry is getting to know people and being able to take advantage of the variety of opportunities and applications available. During my 35 years in the industry, I have been to hundreds of locations, worked on all types of projects, and met countless dedicated professionals. The rental industry has changed in many ways. However, one of the themes that stays consistent is the focus on taking care of their customers and providing excellent service and solutions. To answer your question about superheroes, it is drivers, mechanics, salespeople, and everyone who gets up before the sun rises or stays on the road long after it sets. They are the ones who make the rental industry great. During my free time, I enjoy being on the beach or on the boat, enjoying nature and spending time with my family.
