1)      Out of all the pumps you have ever run or owned what was your hands down stand alone favorite not  the most modern or the oldest,  just what pump did you like the most at that time?

2)      If you knew a young guy in his early 20’s and he wanted to get into concrete pumping today what words of wisdom would you have for this guy? We all know the obvious.

3)      Who would you say he should try to work with a smaller company or a bigger company?

4)      Hands down what was your hardest pour or concrete pumping day-job you have ever done?

5)      What is the most unbelievable thing good or bad you have ever seen done with a Concrete Pump?

6)      What was the wage when you started in Concrete Pumping?

7)      What do you think the biggest boom in the world will be in ten years, 80, 90 a 100 meter?

8)      And finally if you could buy Today any brand of Concrete Pump that you wanted, and run it yourself and money was not an object or problem and you were going to pay it off 100% when you picked it up, (you won the Pump Lottery) , what new model and manufacture would you go for and why?
