In this episode of Who's Going for Coffee?, we sit down with John Maxwell — a well-respected member of Local 1 Elevator Constructors and a dedicated instructor with NEIEP, the National Elevator Industry Educational Program. John shares his unique journey from being organized into the union to becoming a mentor for the next generation of elevator constructors.
We talk shop about the importance of union brotherhood, the evolving trade, and the role education plays in shaping safe, skilled workers. But it’s not all work — John’s a serious muscle car enthusiast, and we dive into his passion for horsepower, restoration projects, and how turning wrenches in the garage mirrors the craftsmanship of the trade.
