Prior to starting my working career I attended Los Angeles Trade Technical College for a course in auto mechanics which gave me a hands-on working knowledge of how a motor vehicle functions. Although I never planned on being an automotive technician, it turned out to be extremely helpful in my working career as I was fortunate to be asked to work at a Ford dealership starting out as a parts pick up and delivery driver. I worked my way up to ‘journeyman’ status and became a shop counter parts tech. I was recruited by a Lincoln Mercury dealership in Berkeley and moved to Concord, CA.

I worked in the greater San Francisco bay area Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealerships for about 10 years, moving up through the ranks to management. I was then recruited by a Ford dealership in the greater Sacramento area. There I began concentrating on servicing fleets accounts such as P.G. & E., Granite Construction, and the like. This was very educational and helped tremendously in the part I played in helping design and set up a nine acre fleet facility. I quickly learned the urgency of that area of the automotive industry.

In early 2008, I was invited to work here at Burton’s Fire as parts manager. The Firefighting industry is certainly a competitive and demanding arena. It is very fulfilling to be a part of the Burton’s Fire organization.

I began my parts experience in 1987 working at a local heavy duty truck dealer. Next, I took on the purchasing of light and heavy duty truck parts at a large equipment rental yard.

In 1998 I came to work for Burtons Fire. I have been to Pierce for various parts training classes as well as Waterous Pump School. Burtons Fire also allowed me to attend an aerial class and a Tak-4 suspension class taught here on the premises. When it comes to customer service, we at Burton’s strive to improve in every area we can, to meet the customers’ needs.

Prior to my work at Burton's Fire, I was employed in agricultural tractor parts sales. In 2004, I was given an opportunity to join Burton's Fire as a parts technician. My favorite aspect of the job is working with our customers. One of my main responsibilities is taking parts calls, so if you call us, there is a good chance I am the guy you'll be talking to. I have attended Waterous Pump School, as well as several Pierce training classes. If there is anything I can help you with, please give me a call or email me.
