I describe how I got into the industry and how it changed my life.

Also, all of the people that became great lifelong friends, and some of the funny stuff that we did while safely working on some of the most technically difficult situations which could not have happened without the proper training and dedication.

I always said I needed to tell my story in a book when I retired... Problem is I'm still working!

About the Author

Joseph M. Kusnir spent his entire career in the elevator industry. He followed his Grandfather and Father into it, and now still works as an inspector in a company he helped build. What inspired him to write this book is 54 years of great memories of how his career started and all of the "ups and downs" he ran into on the way. He writes about how much he owes everything he now has to this industry and the people that worked with him throughout the years. He wouldn't change a single thing either.
