HE&M Saw would like to spotlight and recognize Brian Johnson this month. Brian has worked at HE&M Saw for nearly 40 years! Brian’s Father worked in HE&M Saw’s Electrical department, and Brian began his HE&M saw journey working in the maintenance department during the summer of 1982, while attending High School. Aside from being a great employee, Brian is quite the character and well known for many things, including his Halloween costumes, his rock star hair, and his humor!

One of his lifelong work pals, Ronnie Crabtree, had this to say about Brian “I remember working the late night shifts with Brian back in the day! We shared many laughs and harmless pranks! Brian takes his time to make sure the job is done right and he is one of the best welders we have!”

During his free time, Brian enjoys swimming at the creek, going on vacations, camping, and spending time with the love of his life, Helen! Helen describes Brian as kind, responsible, and giving. Brian is also a big fan of action movies, and the more action, the less likely he is to fall asleep in his recliner! Brian also enjoys spending time with his two children and three grandchildren.

Brian has worked in several HE&M Saw departments, and he currently works in our fabrication area, building the larger, and more complicated band saw components. Brian has been a “go to guy” for many years. His work motto is simple; “No Mistakes!” This mindset inspires Brian to rise to challenges and work hard until the job is done. Brian is truly a team player and an asset to the team here at HE&M Saw! Thank you for nearly 40 years of service and we hope to see your smiling face and curly hair for many years to come!
