    Employee Spotlight

    Meet Kevin Pinto

    Junior Sales Associate

    Kevin started working with Brooks in May of 2017. Having a number of friends already employed here at Brooks, he’d heard a lot of favorable things about the company. And as an Extruder Operator at a local textile business, he felt it was time for a career change—maybe out of an abundance of caution.

    When asked what an Extruder Operator does, Kevin explained that he worked on a machine that melted plastics and pigments (colored powders) together. Then cut them into small pellets for commercial carpeting and injection molding. And these machines ran hot (300°F– 400°F). As a result, fires were a constant occurrence. So Kevin, reluctantly, I’m sure, had to become very good with fire extinguishers over the 6 years he spent melting things—on purpose or not.

    Soft-spoken and exceedingly friendly, he’s been an ideal fit for the Brooks Sales Team. When asked what he enjoys the most about working at Brooks, Kevin says, “The camaraderie with my co-workers, [it] feels like a second family.” He goes on to say, “I also look at [my] customers as my friend’s, and there isn’t much I wouldn’t try to do to help my friends.”

    Outside of work, Kevin enjoys spending time with his family, working on cars, and, apparently, building computers? Yup, the man has fun building computers in his spare time. He’s also from Miami, so he’s a Dolphins fan. Maybe that explains the computers and spare time. Just kidding Big Fellow!
