How long have you worked at BPS, what is your job title, and at which branch?

6 months

Pump Mechanic

Pound, Va

What is the biggest misconception people have about your position?

Alot of people don’t understand what a pump mechanic is exactly, but they also think we have a pretty simple job. Sometimes it can be, but then you have times that can be pretty stressful.

What trend do you hope makes a comeback?

It may not be much of a trend, but I wished we could go back to times when everyone looked out for everyone else and got along for the most part, instead of all the anger and hatred toward anybody who makes a simple mistake. “Pick your neighbor up when he is down.”

Best advice you were ever given? Who was it from?

Never judge a book by its cover, because every chapter is always different.

by Larry Harvey

What’s one song you have completely memorized?

“Drift Away” by Uncle Kracker

If money wasn’t a factor, what would you buy?

I will spend the money by paying off all my families debt, then I would purchase a good size land in Tennessee for a good size cabin and that’s where me and my wife would live for the rest of our lives.
