Annawan, IL facility

He took over the position from John Hatzer on Monday, November 16, 2009.  John is making a good and steady recovery from his health issues and is focusing his main efforts on continuing to improve.  Jason is tapping into John’s knowledge on a daily basis.

Jason grew up on a farm in Morris, Illinois.  Prior to joining Birkey’s, Jason worked for Case Corporation. During his 11.5-year career with Case Corp/CNH he held various positions. He started with the technical service group as a Technical Specialist on Maxxums, Magnums, planters, tillage, and loaders. He then moved on to the position of Sales Support Manager supporting 3 Case Business Managers and 47 dealers in the northwest part of the United States. He finished his career at CNH as an Asset Manager for CNH Capital where he was responsible for remarketing lease returns, repossessed units, and dealers aged or accessed equipment.

When not at work, Jason enjoys spending time with his wife and 3 young girls. Additionally, he is an avid snowmobile racer – whether it’s on snow, grass or even across open water!

We have no doubt he will make an excellent contribution to all aspects of our work here and we are delighted that he has decided to join our organization.

Be sure to say hello to Jason the next time you visit Birkey’s in Annawan.
