Meet National Heavy Equipment Operator School Graduate of the Month for January 2010, Christopher Kochis.

Christopher is a local to us living here in beautiful Jacksonville, Florida.  Christopher is married to a lovely woman named Carrie and both of them just moved here from the great northern state of Maine.  We can’t say we blame them with the weather the way it is this time of year.

Christopher has been self-employed for the last 6 years doing finished wood work and remodeling kitchens and bathrooms along with other types of home remodeling.  With the fallout of the housing industry you can imagine what that did for Christopher’s business.

Standing next to this impressive looking Kamatsu 200 Hoe Ram is our Mr. Jeff Pickens. Jeff is originally from San Antonio Texas. He was a proud member of the United States Air Force. Jeff dedicated 22 years of his life to defending freedom. After Jeff’s Air Force career was over, he still needed something to do and to feel useful.

National Heavy Equipment Operators School was Jeff’s gateway to the new career. When Jeff was a little boy, his grandfather took him to a strip mine in Southern Ohio where he saw the world’s largest dump truck. It was that visit and that dump truck that started a dream. Jeff gave us a call and he was soon enrolled in his future.

Pictured inside this Caterpillar 938F Articulating Loader is a very happy man. His name is Sean Williams. Sean graduated from National Heavy Equipment Operators School November 0f 2004.. Prior to discovering his talent for large earthmoving machines, Sean worked for Eastman Kodak.. Sean operated a forklift for them until that fateful day when he was informed his services would no longer be required. It seems Eastman Kodak found someone willing to do it for a lot less money, in China and Mexico. Sadly, many businesses are finding it necessary to move portions of their operations off-shore.
