Dan Rice, Elevator Mechanic, 20 years

I enjoy the changes over the years: different controls, different machines, and different methods of installation.  Growing up, my father took me along to a lot of jobs. Later, when I was working in the trade, I tore out a few of the elevators he put in. That made for some interesting dinner conversation.

What I like best is we do everything from start to finish, our own wiring, our own welding, our own hoisting. That’s what is unique about our trade. It gives us a lot of  pride in the work. My favorite job is the spiral escalator we put in for the Nordstroms at 5th and Market. That was a challenge.
