If you’ve ever set foot in the Machine Shop, there’s a good chance you’ve crossed paths with John Berbig. And if you haven’t, his work has still likely had a hand in something you’ve seen roll out of the yard. For the past 14 years, John has been a steady presence at Ledwell, rising to the role of Leadman thanks to his strong work ethic and commitment.

When asked what keeps him coming back every day, John doesn’t hesitate. “The environment is what motivates me. Ledwell takes care of you and you don’t find that at most places”, he said. That sense of care and opportunity is what fuels his drive, whether it’s helping a teammate or taking on the next challenge in the shop.

John is especially proud of completing the SEED Program, calling it a turning point in his journey at Ledwell.

“It opens a doorway for anyone up and coming to see more about the company,” John says. “It builds bonds between employees.”

That experience not only strengthened his understanding of the business but deepened his connection with the people who keep it running.

One of the biggest lessons he’s learned is it’s okay to fail but never give up. Failing is where you learn lessons and grow. It’s a mindset that fits right in at Ledwell, where grit and growth go hand in hand.

And when it comes to precision, John knows most folks wouldn’t guess the level of detail that goes into the Machine Shop. It’s not just using a tape measurer. We’re talking about microns of accuracy for some parts. It’s that kind of exactness that keeps Ledwell equipment running strong job after job.

Outside of work, John is a proud husband to Chelsea, and together they’re raising five kids—four girls and one boy. That same sense of responsibility carries over into everything he does at Ledwell.

We’re proud to shine a light on John Berbig. A leader, a mentor, and a reminder that real craftsmanship starts with people who care.

For the past 14 years, Kyle Hillis has been a key member of the Ledwell team, hauling equipment across the US and Canada, ensuring our customers receive what they need, when and where they need it.

But Kyle does more than just deliver equipment. He is also part of our field service effort, stepping in to troubleshoot and make repairs when a customer needs a hand. Right now, he is on the road heading across the country to do just that.

When asked what a typical day looks like, Kyle just laughs. “There’s no such thing as a typical day when you’re a driver,” he says. “Every job depends on the destination.”

What stays consistent is Kyle’s commitment to the customer. He especially enjoys delivering to first time Ledwell buyers. “You can always see their excitement,” he says. “I like training them on how to operate the equipment. It’s rewarding to be part of that first impression.”

Over the years, Kyle has picked up some valuable lessons. The biggest one? “Pay attention. Be aware of what you’re doing and what’s around you.” It is advice that serves him well when navigating long hauls and customer sites across North America.

Ask him what keeps him going, and his answer is simple. “Up here is like family. That makes it easy to be motivated every day.”

When he is not behind the wheel, Kyle enjoys golfing with his partner of five years, Misty. He is also a proud grandfather, spoiling three grandkids with two more on the way.

We are proud to have Kyle represent Ledwell on the road. His dedication, attitude, and experience make him more than just a driver. He is a trusted face of the Ledwell brand.

Since 2005, John Williams has been a key part of the Ledwell team. He came in ready to take on tough jobs, and from day one, he’s been our go-to for electrical maintenance. His work keeps us moving and speaks volumes about his dedication to doing things right.

Installing cranes is one of John’s favorite tasks. He’s wired and programmed nearly 40 of them over the years, each one built to make life easier and safer for our team. You can see the pride in his craftsmanship every time a crane fires up without a hitch.

John’s work comes with challenges, especially when electrical problems pop up without warning. But he doesn’t back down. His ability to troubleshoot fast and get equipment back online shows just how much he values quality, reliability, and keeping the job on track.

Before Ledwell, John spent ten years in the Navy, serving our country with the same discipline and purpose he brings to his role today. That experience shaped his sharp attention to detail and his steady, no-nonsense approach.

When he’s off the clock, John enjoys a quieter kind of precision, caring for his aquariums. He keeps angel fish and tiger barbs, along with coral he collected while stationed near the Indian Sea. It’s a passion that reflects his deep respect for life and balance.

At the core of everything John does is his faith. “Knowing someone is there to carry the weight of the world for you is so inspiring,” he says. It’s that belief that helps him stay grounded and focused, no matter what comes his way.

John Williams isn’t just a skilled electrician; he’s a steady hand, a quiet leader, and a living example of what it means to be Ledwell Made. We’re proud to have him on the team and even prouder of the legacy he continues to build every day.
