Employee Story
Mathew Ookiye
Mathew does Outside Commercial Tire Service for Purcell Tire and has been with the company for over 2.5 years.
I began my career at Purcell almost three years ago, simply by walking through the front door and asking if they were hiring. I then was introduced to my boss, John Jangula, where that introduction met with an immediate interview and I was onboard within the next two weeks. I have automotive experience from schooling and short time employment back in my early 20's before leaving for military service and college pursuits. Since leaving I had no intention of returning to the auto industry, but life works in mysterious ways... John expressed confidence in my abilities to tap back into my "know how" and I was back in the game. The opportunities to learn, grow, and earn my pay have been valuable to where I am today, and I am grateful that I have a boss, team, and company that rewards hard work and values individual contributions.
