AL: How long have you been with Action Lift?

I have been at Action Lift for one year.

 

AL: Briefly, what does your job entail?

Fixing forklifts, duh!

 

AL: Who inspired you to pursue the career you have today?

Nobody had inspired me, but it was more so a friend who works for the company that helped me apply. I greatly appreciate his help and the Action Lift team for taking me on.

I see myself traveling the world with my bandmates.

Always start with the basics, as it will save you a lot of headaches.

 

AL: What are the most demanding challenges you've had at work? How did you overcome them?

As a new tech without access to PSRT when the system went down, the support of our FSMs and other technicians helped me diagnose problems and fix them promptly.

 

AL: What's your secret talent no one knows about?  

If I told you, it would no longer be a secret. ;)

 

AL: When you are at work, how do you motivate yourself?

Most days, I think about my family, but sometimes, some music helps me through rough times.

 

AL: Regarding successes, which accomplishments are you most proud of?

At work, I have the ability not to be afraid to take on something I have never done before. Outside of work, playing at some of the world's biggest music festivals with my bandmates

Action Lift has helped me adapt to working in a team environment. 

 

AL: Tell me something about you that most people don't know.

I am a huge nerd.

 

AL: Which of our 30 Fundamentals is your personal favorite, and why?

Number 8 is my favorite, "Find a way." This is a great rule to incorporate into your everyday life.

I brought this into my life quite some time ago, even before onboarding at Action Lift. It has helped me accomplish many things I thought I could not do or even find time to add to my daily schedule. Overall, it has made me a much happier person.

 

Thanks for the great spotlight, Jamie!
