Trent Bond
Injector Repair Supervisor
My professional journey began at Discount Tire, where I quickly found my footing through hard work and dedication. At just 18, I had already climbed the ranks to a management position. In late 2018, I was promoted to 5S Assistant Manager. In this role, I was entrusted with ordering all necessary products and ensuring that the store remained organized and efficient. My responsibilities also extended to sales and maintenance, where I gained valuable experience working directly with customers.
Transition to Althea
I embarked on a new chapter of my career at Althea on November 1, 2021, joining the CT department. My duties involved testing tubes and generators, a role that demanded precision and technical acumen to maintain the highest standards of product quality.
Moving to the Injector Department
Shortly after joining Althea, I was presented with a new opportunity to transition to the Injector Department. Eager to embrace this challenge, I took on the responsibility of managing travel and on-site service. For about a year and a half, I diligently performed these services, which enhanced my skills and deepened my understanding of both the industry and customer needs.
Advancement to Injector Supervisor
My consistent performance and commitment to excellence lead me to my promotion as Injector Supervisor. In this capacity, I conduct spot checks on customer repairs and loaners to ensure we consistently deliver quality products. Additionally, I manage the technical support and on-site service provided to our customers, ensuring their satisfaction and the ongoing success of our operations.
My journey at Althea has been marked by growth and learning, allowing me to harness my skills and contribute positively to the organization. Each step has been a building block, preparing me for future challenges and opportunities to make a meaningful impact.
Andrew Watson
Parts Repair Supervisor
After graduating from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) in 2018, I embarked on my professional journey in the world of audio electronics. I started an internship at a recording studio where my primary responsibility was performing maintenance on their consoles. This opportunity laid the groundwork for my future career, providing me with hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of audio equipment.
Upon completing my internship, I ventured into refurbishing and restoring older consoles from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. This endeavor involved modifying circuits to meet modern standards for noise reduction, Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), and headroom specifications. Additionally, I enhanced their functionality through various modifications. This phase of my career was characterized by extensive hands-on trial and error, allowing me to fine-tune my skills in circuit design and modification.
I then transitioned to a larger shop servicing West Nashville, where I repaired audio equipment for both studio work and live sound. This role exposed me to a diverse range of circuits and provided me with the unique challenge of working on equipment without schematics. This experience significantly honed my troubleshooting skills and broadened my knowledge of various electronic systems.
Transition to Althea
Seeking a change of pace, I joined Althea around nine months ago as a board repair technician specializing in component-level repairs for their contrast injector program. This role has been instrumental in expanding my understanding of complex circuits, particularly those I had not encountered in the audio electronics sector. It has been an invaluable learning experience, allowing me to delve into more intricate designs and applications.
Leading as Parts Repair Supervisor
Currently, as the Parts Repair Supervisor at Althea, I oversee all component-level repairs for an array of diagnostic imaging modalities. My role involves encouraging and mentoring team members to explore complex circuits and develop new skills. It is rewarding to see the team grow and succeed, and I am committed to fostering a collaborative and innovative environment where continuous learning and quality is prioritized.
Throughout my career, I have been driven by a passion for electronics and a desire to continuously improve my skills. Each stage of my journey has contributed to my growth as a electronics professional, and I am excited to see where this path will lead next.
