Start Date: August 25, 2001
Position: Outside Sales representative Pump & Power

In 2001 I was approached by Don Furr, PCM of PC163 at the time. I had been working for a competitor for three years doing outside sales in the rental power market. Sunbelt Rentals was a much smaller company back then with an even smaller Pump & Power division. I saw the passion in Don Furr, his employees took the job as Outsides sales Rep. and haven't looked back. When I reminisce at some of the jobs we pulled off in the early years, the long hours we worked and how much the business has grown; it makes me feel proud that I was part of it.

The passion and dedication of the employees! Workings in an industry were roughly 50% of the business is emergency or unplanned, having a dedicated team is vital to the branches success. Sunbelt's dedication to customer service makes the difference. Without superior customer service; we're just another rental company.

I served four years active duty in the Marine Corps from January 1994 to January 1998. While serving I held several different job titles from Organizational fleet mechanic to Training NCO for the battalion. The work ethic and self-discipline I learned while serving directly contributed to my success at Sunbelt Rentals. I enjoy the direct contact you get with the customer from being an outside sales rep. and feel I've been pretty successful over the years. The next step I want to take with Sunbelt is to be part of a new division that doesn't even exist yet. Sunbelt Event Services; a division dedicated to live entertainment, sporting events and any special event or festival that needs our equipment. I've been fortunate enough to follow a few event customers around the country this past year and look forward to taking that to the next level.
