We cover so many important topics this week with Tommy Richey, Equipment Manager at Pine Valley Golf Club in Pine Valley, New Jersey. Tommy got his start turning wrenches as a machinery technician in the United States Coast Guard and now manages the equipment for the top club in the U.S. Hear what it’s like to achieve your dream and find it’s even better than you imagined. We get an inside look at the daily shop routine at Pine Valley, a fab project that did nothing less than improve someone’s enjoyment of life, and a few reminders on the critical importance of safety. We discuss what you really get out of volunteering at championship events (education, networking, and resume-building to name a few). Get deep with us on theories and practices for leading the next generation of technicians and walk away with a “PFM” trick for what to do when your drill bit starts dancing around. Fishing might be the only thing we didn’t talk about!
