Today We Introduce Jason Berry
Jason Berry has been serving as the Director & Treasurer of BABFAR since the retirement of our founder Bruce A Berry, the BAB in BABFAR. Jason Berry appreciates being part of the BABFAR team, and that all employees can discuss their ideas openly. He thrives on working alongside the team to help each of their strength’s thrive.Born and raised in Massachusetts, Jason is extremely well versed in the unique climate of the Northeast and knows exactly what it takes to heat a variety of spaces. While he enjoys all aspects of his job, his favorite part is coming up with creative solutions to challenging issues. He loves the thrill of taking a seemingly impossible job and showing off the impressive abilities of BABFAR’s equipment.Jason’s career path into the temporary heating industry was fate, if you will. He needed a job with flexible hours to work within his college schedule, and BABFAR fit the bill. He was hired on as a yard guy and truck driver, and quickly grew to admire the company and their products. He took every chance he could to advance over the next ten years, and then the opportunity to become Director presented itself.When Jason is not at work, he can be seen enjoying quality time with his family. Coming from a mechanical background, he also enjoys working on classic cars and mountain biking, and hopes to tackle Whistler BC by bike one day.Jason is proud of all of his accomplishments at BABFAR, but especially proud of how he turned BABFAR around after the founder’s partner passed away. The company was surprised with hidden debt and at one point they almost shut down. But Jason and his family fought for the opportunity to turn BABFAR around. Jason has succeeded, and then some. He credits the incredible team he has assembled and knows that he couldn’t have done it without them. To Jason, the BABFAR team has become like an extended family.In the future, Jason hopes to continue to provide safe alternatives to the other harmful heating options out there. He strives to continue improving BABFAR’s equipment and raising the bar in the temporary heating industry.We will leave you with Jason’s favorite quote, which is appropriately applicable to BABFAR’s business model: “There is hardly anything in the world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price alone are that person’s lawful prey. It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money — that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot — it can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”- John Ruskin, Common Law of Business Balance
