three locations making sure the
needs at each are met.
PCT: How did you get into this
business?
BT: I was in business with Mike
Patton, our founder and name-
sake, in a different industry.
He introduced me to the rental
industry in 2013. I bought it
in 2014, and have not looked
back since.
PCT: What is your back-up job
if you weren’t in this business?
BT: I love cars! Hot rods espe-
cially, so I’d do something
where I could drive cool, fast
cars every day.
PCT: What is your favorite
thing about your job?
BT: Growing the business. I
love finding new opportunities
to make the company better.
PCT: What have you learned in
pursuing your field?
BT: I’ve always been my own
boss. I’ve learned you have to
be persistent with your vision,
but you have to have help
from good people along the
way. You can’t do this all by
yourself and do it well.
PCT: What advice can you give
others who may want to follow
in your footsteps?
BT: Love people, even the
unlovable ones, because you
can’t do it all by yourself.
When you find good people
who make you and your orga-
nization better, make sure
you make them feel treasured.
Whether that is an employee,
co-worker, customer or vendor
— make them feel treasured
and they will make you and
your organization better.
PCT: What is the best piece of
advice you can give to custom-
ers?
BT: We’re here because of
you and for you, so let us help
you when you need help. We
know that without you we
would not be here.
PCT: What is the most inter-
esting thing you have seen in
your field?
BT: People! What we do
would make great TV.
PCT: What is something that
others don’t know about you
or your job?
BT: We rent disco balls!
