Custom or out of the box solutions/issues is something I thrive with. I have a passion for automation and controls that I will never be able to quench.
When I’m not out there slaying the world of automation, I love spending time with my family, working on my racecars that I always break, going to the gym, and practicing taekwondo. I cannot handle sitting still, so you’ll always find me doing something!
Carson Combs
Automation Technician IIII
Experience with Allen Bradley, Siemens, and a few others.
I like automation almost as much as I like Lifted trucks and going off road.
Justin Beckley
Automation Technician II
I started off my working career as a mechanic for Ford for over 20 years. During that time I pursued a racing career as a mechanic on a sports car team.
After a long and illustrious career in the automotive field, I decided to go the route of Automation and started with BMF Automation. I really enjoy the controls side of automation and I feel like it was a lot easier to cross over for me having so much low voltage experience in the automotive field. The ability to go through the diagnostics process is challenging, but its very rewarding at the end when you see the machine running and the customer is happy.
In my off time I enjoy driving my classic cars to the local winery where I enjoy late night roof tops views of the city while sipping the best wines in town. The 40hp in my Volkswagen really gets my hair blowing in the wind…. There’s nothing quite like it.
I also enjoy spending time at the race track with my friends. I’ve met some of the best people in my life at the track (except for the Honda boys), and I love being there to help out and be part of the team. I’m pretty much the best crew chief there is.
Blake Bauman
Automation Technician I
Young buck trying to make a name for myself. I’m new to automation and it’s like drinking from a fire hydrant. I’m soaking up as much as I can as fast as I can.
In my free time, I enjoy Hondas and beer cause ‘Merica!
