Meet David Sasenick, also known as Rusty. He became a generator technician at ThermFlo after working as a shop assistant for two years, and after nine more years of hard work and dedication to his team, Rusty is now a Senior Industrial Generator Technician. If you have any questions or problems with a telecom site or communications tower company, Rusty’s the one to call. His specialty is working on cellphone tower sites for major service providers like Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, and AT&T.
When Rusty goes on a service call, there’s always an additional member of the team by his side—his service dog Koda Bear. Since Koda Bear was four weeks old, he’s been Rusty’s true friend and loyal companion. “He has saved my life more than most know,” says Rusty. “He watches my back wherever we go. If Koda Bear barks, then we stop what we are doing and check on the trucks and the gear. He has been an asset to this company since day one … he is admired by everyone.”
Among the other technicians, or “Gladiators,” as Rusty calls them, he’s known as the king of spare parts because his truck is always stocked with anything his team might need to get the job done. They’re the Elite Field Service Team in the industry and can complete challenging jobs in just one day that would usually take another company four to five days to complete. Of course, Koda Bear joins them every time.
By always putting himself in the customer’s shoes, Rusty has demonstrated his long-standing dedication and commitment to not only serving our clients, but to the success of our business. He says it best: “It's true when I say the people I work with have become my second family. There is nothing I wouldn't do for any one of them.”
“Having all the upper management care so much is why I push myself to do better at every aspect of this job. This job is a never-ending challenge with a great support group of creative, hardworking people who take extremely good care of us. This is by far the best company I have ever worked for."
