Meet The Team

Senior Launch Reliability Manager

What I enjoy about Means are the people, the size of the company, and the diverse opportunities they provide. The collective of individuals here at Means is small enough where you will get to know most everyone. With getting to know most everyone, bonds are created where everyone can joke around with each other and still get the job done at the end of the day. I wear many hats that provide many opportunities throughout my week, which keeps it interesting. These opportunities include manager, machinist, debug technician, safety member, project manager, and designer. Means provides many incentives to strive harder to engineer and produce robust/quality products.

I am proud to be a part of that progress, and I predict good things lie ahead for both Means and me.

Sr. Commercial Manager

For over 20 years I’ve reported to an organization that has been instrumental in providing me opportunities to grow both professionally and personally. Means is not only committed to continuously improving its products, processes and total customer offering; but it is just as committed to its team members’ career development. It’s great to work at an organization that has forward thinking leadership and is full of creative problem solvers. We are doing things within our relatively small organization that are making huge impacts on both mature and evolving technologies. To be valued as an individual and to be part of continuously advancing ideas brings added intrinsic benefits to my employment here. Means is and has been a great employer to report to; I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had and I’m looking forward to our future challenges.

Having worked at other companies, it didn’t take too long to figure out Means is a fantastic place to work. Our engineered products are regarded as world-class in our market segment. The company is of nimble size. It is large enough for every employee to have the resources needed to function at a high-level, yet small enough to get things done without a lot of bureaucracy. There is a “do-what it takes” mentality at all levels of the company, which facilitates a team effort. The company’s commitment to its people is second-to-none. Means has provided me with various development opportunities, including continuing education. Overall, choosing to work at Means has been the best decision of my professional career.
