Billy is an Account Manager who's been keeping the Southeast transit customers happy since joining the KIRKS team almost two years ago. Based out of Augusta, Georgia, Billy has years of experience in sales. When Billy isn't working, you might find him meticulously mowing a personal putting green (he's particular about his turf!) in his front yard, chilling by the lake, or even squeezing in a little bit of actual golf. Fun Fact: Back in high school, he dominated the cross country course and wrestling mat at Evans High in Augusta. Now, he gets to witness his son wrestle, carrying on the legacy! Favorite Quote: "Baloney is just flattened hotdogs." When asked what his favorite thing about working for KIRKS has been, he said, "The owners know how to support the team to allow us to manage customers needs to drive success for both us and the customers." #KIRKS #employeespotlight #transit #fleet #heavydutyequipment
