Chris Mueller's Bio
Chris Mueller has been with Penhall Company only a year, yet as a former Marine Sergeant, at 28 not only is Chris well known in the company he is already on his way to a promotion to Fleet Manager.
Chris’s journey to Penhall Company has been fascinating.
Chris joined the Marine Corps in September 2005, at the age of 18. While working at the Pacific Honda Dealership he decided to accompany his friend, who wanted to become a military firefighter, to meet the recruiter. The photos of camouflage paint, military equipment and uniform intrigued Chris, and so he enlisted. The Corps provided a sense of structure and assertiveness. He learned to be an individual and became much more self-reliant, which came into play later on when entering the Concrete Cutting Industry.
Clark Thompson's Bio
But Clark Thompson, Division Manager for Birmingham, AL, Montgomery, AL, Huntsville, AL and Biloxi, MS, has been with Penhall for over 25 years. What’s more is that he’s been in the concrete cutting business for 29 years.
In 1985, when Clark was just out of high school, his small hometown in West Virginia didn’t provide much in the way of work. So he and his friend (now brother-in-law) decided to head south to find more lucrative jobs.
While Florida was their destination, they discovered ample work opportunity during their stopover in Atlanta, GA. On the advice of some helpful gentlemen they met while eating breakfast at their hotel, Clark and his brother-in-law went to the outskirts of Atlanta, found a local newspaper, responded to an ad for concrete cutting, and were interviewed later that day.
David Pabst's Bio
David Pabst has been with Penhall Company for so long that he almost lost track whether it’s 28 or 29 years. Currently a Division Service Manager at Gardena, California, David has had his fair share of on-site experience too.
David entered the company right out of high school. What started out as a summer job resulted in a lifetime career. Although he had his college picked out, but David was enjoying working as a shop runner in Division 14, Gardena. The requirement for the job was to be mechanically inclined and David definitely had a knack for it. As a freshman he bought a car from his uncle for $1.00. The car was useless at that point; it didn’t run at all because the engine was damaged. David fixed it by himself and actually got it to work. So well in fact that it lasted him 5 years. He even drove it to Penhall Company when he started working here.
JIM WILTSHIRE's Bio
James Wiltshire has definitely risen through the ranks. Having started out as a laborer 25 years ago, he has held almost every position in the concrete cutting industry from deep core drilling to operations manager. For the last 4 1/2 years James, better known as Jim, has been Penhall Company’s Division Service Manager in Seattle, WA.
Before getting into the concrete cutting industry Jim served in the military for 5 years. He spent 3 years with the 82nd Airborne Division as a paratrooper and 2 years in Korea with the 2ND Infantry Division.
When his service ended Jim returned to Southern California. Jim had some friends in the industry and they helped him secure a position. From there the jobs got bigger and more technically advanced, as did the series of companies he worked for. Eventually Jim decided to join Penhall Company’s Reno branch in 2007 as the Company was pioneering in its approach to the industry. Having spent 20+ years in the concrete cutting industry, he knew the work was difficult and a lot of times risky but seeing a Company take a zero accident approach was something he had to be part of. Jim craved a challenge, and Penhall Company provided more opportunities with its extensive availability of assets and large-scale projects.
