Employee Story
Jim Chazelle
Jim Chazelle is a Retread Tech for Purcell Tire and has been with the company for over 47 years.
I started working at Purcell in 1979, right after high school. I didn’t think much about the future at that time, but looking back now after all these years I see it was a great decision. I worked with a lot of great people over the years, starting with my dad and brother, my first plant manager was Marvin Bozarth, a legend in the tire industry. I’m grateful for all the opportunities that the company provided. Working close to home for a family-oriented company was a big perk, raising our beautiful girls, watching our amazing grandkids grow, I never missed any milestones, ball games, field trips, etc. many thanks to Bob and Juanita for making families important to the company.
