242. Knowledge Transfer - Drew Evans

Remembering our roots and those places and people who influenced us is critical to mapping your career. Whether good or bad, both are part of your foundation from which you become your own person. For Drew Evans, he has never forgotten the people and places he has been fortunate enough to be apart of. From an early age, he knew he wanted more. As his early days ticked by, he chased fire. From NY State to Maryland, where the fires were is where Drew wanted to be. Spending many busy days at Kentland 33, Drew knew this had to become his career. Getting picked up by Washington DC, Drew has spent the last 10 years at Truck 16, currently operating as a Technician. The truck offers so much that Drew is passionate about. He challenges himself to teach and learn with his guys each shift. Even with over 20 runs for the day, Drew still wants to get in some type of training for himself and the company. If they don't, he spends his ride home the next day kicking himself for not finding that training opportunity. His need for training has lead him to share his experience and mindset with others through his Instagram as well. We have an obligation to push this job forward and a big part of that is "Knowledge Transfer". Drew believes that we must share what we know and the lessons we have learned with the next generation. A strong love of the job and an endless passion for the craft continues to fuel Drew's daily push to be better. -- Check out Drew Evan's Instagram @andrew18752.
