Avionics News November 2012 - 41

What do you like best about your job?

How about animals?

I always enjoy the everyday challenges. I like the hustle and bustle to win the job, work a sales strategy, help with marketing, see the airplane arrive for the first time and have a happy customer leave at the end. There’s a whole lot to making that happen, and I like it.

What’s the corporate culture like at Banyan?

This is a great company to work for – very supportive of its employees. We’re encouraged to be involved within our departments. Don Campion is known as the head coach and the employees as teammates. We help each other. It’s a great people company, always open to new ideas.

Brittani volunteers with Busch Wildlife Sanctuary in Jupiter. She will feed the baby alligators, birds and owls. If you go down the road and see an injured animal, the Busch people will nurse it back it health. She cleans out cages. She has brought home baby squirrels that she’s had to hand-feed every three hours. She loves to care for animals. We have chickens – hens for laying eggs. We live in Jupiter Farms which is an equestrian area. We also have two turtles, two cats, but no dogs.

Does your wife work outside the home?

What’s your favorite airplane to work on?

When I was on the floor, I loved to work on Gulfstreams. When you see a certain car go down the road, you like to look at it – it’s a beautiful aircraft. Everything is there, and it’s easy to work on.

What do you do when you’re not working?

I enjoy spending time with my family. I have two great children in high school. Brittani is 17 and a senior. She’s into art and animals and enjoys scary movies. Brandon is 16, and he’s a sports fanatic. He plays four sports a year: football, soccer, baseball and track. Both are in advanced programs – accelerated classes where they earn college credits.

Yes and no. She is a mortgage banker and works from a home office, so she does both. Jamie and I are celebrating our 27th anniversary this year. We met in Hawaii when I was in the Navy and she was a hostess at the Hawaiian Hilton. It’s funny we met in Hawaii, as she grew up in the northwest corner of Oregon and I was raised in Pennsylvania. She was born and raised around horses, so when we had the chance to move to the equestrian area, we did. We have one horse, Sundance, which my wife adores. Jamie rides every chance she gets and is involved in the Jupiter Farms Horsemen Association.

National Park. That’s the only underwater park in the U.S. We can see big stingrays, sharks, parrot fish, loggerhead turtles, just a lot of wildlife. We also have a 22-foot Pro-Line boat for wakeboarding, waterskiing and fishing. When the kids were younger, we would go eight to 12 times a year. I am an avid runner of 37 years and have raced competitively from 5-kilometer events through marathons. I’ve done the Honolulu and the Miami marathons, but my specialty is the 5K or 3.1 miles. Now that my kids are grown, I’m back to racing. I got my son into racing, and we entered our first race together and both won our age group.

What does your crystal ball say about the future?

What kinds of things do you do together as a family?

We have a condo in Key Largo that we love. We like to go there for diving and snorkeling, and I hope that will be my kids’ profound memory. We’re near a beautiful part of John Pennekamp

Like many industries, increased competition and price pressures make it a challenging environment. My passion is innovative products with a customerperceived value. We must stay ahead of the competition to be successful and continually revamp our capabilities and service. We have to ask, what does the customer want? What are they willing to buy? When I started my career, my crystal ball was powered by vacuum tubes, now it’s fiber optics and touchscreens. What will power the crystal ball next keeps me motivated and optimistic about the future. We recognize a need, and then do the right type of sales strategy and marketing. I look forward to the next 20 years. q To learn more about Banyon Air Service, visit www.banyanair.com.
