On this episode of PPMP, we talk with Nathan Knestrick, division marketing manager, a guest we've been trying to land since episode 2.

On this bonus episode of PPMP, we get a case of the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimeys, and travel through the wormhole with our summer interns. In the first half of the show, we talk to our Makenzie, Blake, and Kevin on their first day. Then, we leap forward three months to their last day on the job. See how they've grown as professionals, and hear their thoughts on Parker. Let's go!

In the final episode of our first Greeneville series, we talk to Ian Ruehle-Lewis, applications engineer at the Parker Pump and Motor Division. Ian tells us about his experience in the field, what customers are looking for in a supplier, unique applications, and a quick look at his life before Parker. The episode is a bit longer than normal, but full of fun and intrigue.

Let's keep the Greeneville train rolling with Kim Tarlton, customer service manager.  We discuss ways PMD is improving customer service, the high standards for service that PMD holds, the legal process of buying a home, and what it takes to be great at providing customer service.  Stayed tuned after the show to hear a couple iTunes reviews about the show.  Let's do it!

We're diving even deeper into PMD-Greeneville, as I interview Barry Litchfield, business unit manager, and get an inside look at how production functions, improvements for the future, and the ongoing quest for a safer work environment.  In lieu of Kenney Ricker's movie references from episode 4, I'll weave in some of my own. Enjoy!
