How long have you been at Race?
I’ve been at Race for three years.
What is your official title?
I am the Field Manager.
So what exactly do you do?
I basically supervise all the field technicians. My day consists of overseeing the technicians and installs. I handle their payroll and I also manage our fleet vehicles. I oversee 7 technicians. I also stay on top of registration and maintenance for the Race Vehicles.
I work a lot with Customer Service.
How it all works is Customer Services schedules appointments with the customers. They will assign a technician that’s available and they will assign the tech a particular area because there are five areas in our Southern California region. Usually what I will do is look at the schedule to see how it is setup and if I feel I need to move someone around, I will contact Customer Service and see if we can make the changes.
I mostly do scheduling, paperwork administrative duties.
What has been your favorite project while working at Race?
My favorite project…I guess it has to be when I do data projects; I also enjoy training the technicians.
What three words would you use to describe working at Race?
Interesting, different, and exciting.
Bonus Question: What is the first thing you would buy if you hit the lottery?
The first thing I would do if I hit the lottery is, pay off my house [laughs]. I’m not really too materialistic like buying cars and clothes. If anything, I would buy another house to rent. Eventually, that money will run out so I would have some sort of income coming in.
