We are proud of our team members and we want you to know why!  Meet December 2008 featured employee.

Robert WilliamsImage
Robert was born in Jacksonville, Florida and during his childhood moved around the “First Coast” living in St. Augustine and Baker County, Florida.  Robert’s first job out of high school was in the sprinkler trade. After  graduation he started working in the industry!  He knew he did not want to pull wire or install duct work and was introduced to the Fire Sprinkler trade by a good friend.  Robert feels as though he is a mentor to the other  technicians at Wayne Automatic. They call him often not only for his knowledge of installing fire sprinklers but also for friendly advice.  Robert’s hobbies include hunting, fishing, yard work,cooking and work. He lives and loves to work and holds a true passion for the industry. Robert exemplifies this passion as do many of our Wayne Automatic team members.   He loves to hang pipe and does not ever want to do anything else but save people’s lives and property.   Thank you Robert for being a team member who cares, you are our hero!

Why we call him Superman

On 2 separate occasions he possibly saved the lives of a man and a woman. Monday 11-5-07 he witnessed a man being thrown from his semi-truck in an accident. Robert used his first aid training knowledge that he received from WAFS to asess the situation and administer first aid to keep the man alive until paramedics arrived. After the paramedics arrived they requested Robert to continue assisting them until the man was ready to be loaded into the ambulance. If that weren't enough, Robert witnessed another accident 2 days later where a woman was trapped in her vehicle which was on fire. Robert, being superman at this point, kicked out the back window of the fiery car and pulled the woman to safety. Situations like this are why our company maintains the safety program that we have and I am thankful to have the training and to work with young men like Robert who is willing to help others.
