It's an exciting time at Braun Industries. We are celebrating our 40th anniversary, releasing a new model, and much more. We are also pleased to be recognizing some awesome individuals within the Braun family by promoting them to new positions. Today, we congratulate Travis Parsons on his new position as Sales Engineer.

Travis has been with Braun Industries for a little over 6 years. During his time with us, he has held several positions, each time working his way up the ladder with increased knowledge and leadership skills. He has been an Interior Prep Operator, Chassis Prep Operator, Interior Prep Team Leader, Final Assembly Coordinator, and Chassis Prep Coordinator. His current position as Sales Engineer is a critical one.

As Sales Engineer, it is Travis' primary job responsibility to review the orders as they come in to make sure they are complete. This is particularly important since every Braun ambulance is custom handcrafted. It is imperative to have all the information on the order form accurate to move it smoothly through the different areas of assembly, without any questions from the Design Engineer on the floor.

With Travis' previous experience on our production floor, he has a substantial amount of insight on Braun's ambulance models. He has first-hand experience on how they come together and he's able to articulate that to dealers and customers as questions arise. This knowledge is also helpful in the order review process since he clearly understands all the bits and pieces of our various ambulance models and is able to identify when something may not be right or has been left out on an order.

Travis enjoys working at Braun industries because he gets to come to work every day and do something that he likes to do. He takes pride in knowing that what he does makes a big impact on so many people who trust in the reliability and safety of their Braun ambulance. Braun's commitment to building a quality vehicle and always looking at better ways to make their ambulances safer pushes Travis to do his best. It's important to get things right when each ambulance is custom built to what the customer needs and what will suit them best in the field.

Congratulations again on your promotion Travis! We're proud to have you as a Braun family member.
