machine mechanic, Baker Oil Tools

Kay Johnson, a buyer at Baker Oil Tools’ 400-plus-employee Oklahoma plant, nominated Mike. She wrote:

“Mike has been with the company for 23 years. His responsibilities include machine repairs (CNC and conventional) and tool repairs (manual and pneumatic). He’s also the Total Productive Maintenance coordinator and safety champion for the maintenance team.

“Mike is a team player, a quick thinker and will volunteer for the dirty jobs that no one else wants to do. He has a wit and sense of humor that makes him well-liked and accepted by his peers and all of our shop employees in general. He is eager to learn new techniques and can usually figure out a faster, easier way of getting the task done. During our team meetings, he always has a suggestion to improve upon the application or task at hand, but he also accepts advice and respects the opinions of others on the team.

“Mike makes a real difference on our maintenance team with his energetic style and gift for gab, which helps him converse and communicate easily with his ‘customers.’  He’s a valuable asset to our team.”
