Join Our Team

I joined the Braen Stone team starting as a weighmaster at our Ringwood Quarry and I learned valuable information. It was my ability to work in the fast-paced environment and piece together the puzzle that is dispatching that brought me to my current role in central dispatch, dispatching asphalt trucks.

Working for the company for more than three decades, I have had the opportunity to watch the company grow. I participate in a lot of community work from interacting with the senior citizens to reading books to children at the public libraries and I love working for a company that gives back to the community just as much as I do.

I joined the Braen Stone team knowing that the company is always looking to grow and improve operations anyway that they can – something that I love having the opportunity to be a part of.

Every day is different for me and that’s what I love most about my job – it is always new and interesting! As marketing manager, I was forced to stay up on current trends and think of new ways to market Braen.

I joined the Braen team to experience new challenges and take on the opportunity to advance my HR career in a new industry. I find the unexpected exciting which is how most of my days go at Braen! I love working for a local company that has strong family and community ties.

I like to say that I started my career off as Fred Flintstone, in the quarry before I moved into a sales position. While working in the quarry, I worked in just about every position from laborer to primary crusher operator to welding to dispatch. My experience working in these other positions made me a perfect fit for sales because I truly understood the entire quarrying operation.

I started working part time before leaving for another job, not too long after starting that other job, I was back at Braen working as a dispatcher. I learned the ropes and worked my way up into sales and eventually became the sales manager. Even after over 30 years here, I enjoy coming to work every day! Mainly because of the great group of people here.

Having worked for the company for a long time, I pretty much have held every position. After working as the fuel truck operator and working over nights for many years, I approached management and asked if there was another position within the company that I could apply for. This is what led me into the mechanic position.

I started working at Braen with no previous knowledge of the industry or the equipment I would be working with but I was willing to learn everything and that was the key to my success at Braen Stone.

I started as a dump monitor before moving in to work the peanut plant and then was asked to move to the asphalt plant. I eventually became a groundsmen and then started running the plant. I love coming to work every day because of the great environment that I get to work in.
