Heard moved into Field Service and worked for a variety of different companies gaining experience as a Field Service Technician as well as working in a limestone quarry operation. He has worked on all types and makes of heavy equipment machines and has a strong passion for all things heavy equipment related. While looking for a new challenge he decided to try teaching at the college level and started teaching a maintenance class to heavy equipment operators.
