In this episode, I interviewed Will Fleischer, a 25 year veteran of the elevator industry. Will first got into elevators by answering a newspaper ad and has never looked back. He has worked in and around Texas throughout his career, in a variety of roles and companies and currently owns and runs his elevator inspection company. Will emphasized the industry's benefits, including a pension and comprehensive health plans, and the importance of mentoring and developing the next generation of professionals.
