At AllMax Software, we’re proud to recognize the exceptional efforts of our team. This month, we’re excited to highlight BJ Yoder, our dedicated Technical Support and Sales Consultant.
With over three decades of experience in the water and wastewater industry, BJ brings a wealth of knowledge and a unique perspective that goes beyond just software expertise. His favorite aspect of the job? The connections he’s built with clients over the years.
How long have you worked at AllMax?
I have been a member of the AllMax team for a total of 19 years.
What do you love most about your job/working at AllMax?
The thing I love most is the clients. Having worked in the water/wastewater industry for over 35 years, I have had the opportunity to meet and connect with many people. It’s great to engage with my peers in my line of work.”
What do you think sets AllMax apart in your field?
Having worked in various roles, from an operator to a plant superintendent, provides us with a unique perspective on the programs, beyond that of just a software specialist.
What inspired you to join the AllMax team?
I hadn’t really thought about it until the original owners came and asked me to join the company. I said I knew nothing about computers/software and they were ok with that as they just wanted to tap into my industry knowledge. That was in 1995 and it has been a great career move ever since.
What do you think is your biggest contribution to the AllMax team?
My ability to communicate with our clients, both current and potential, about how the software can assist them in their daily operations from a user’s perspective, not just a sales perspective.
What’s your favorite memory from working at AllMax?
The tradeshows, from local events to WEFTEC, provide us with an opportunity to meet our clients in person and stay updated on the latest industry trends.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
I work with my brother on our 65-acre farm where we raise Hereford cattle and manage all other aspects of farming. During the winter, I enjoy spending time in the hunting blind in hopes of getting a nice deer for the freezer.
Describe an interesting hobby or pastime that you have.
I really enjoy taking time to just relax. It may not be super interesting, but I believe it’s something everyone needs to do. Sitting on the porch, watching the cattle, and seeing the grandkids playing in the yard makes great memories.
