Mike Hedrick

OPE Parts Commercial Account Manager, Blacklick

Mike has been with BPS for 5 years now and was recently promoted from Parts Counter Sales to his new position which allows him to get out of the office and visit customers.

Before joining BPS, Mike was a Project Manager for a large central Ohio home repair company. Prior to that he owned his own lawn care and fence company.

Mike came to BPS after seeing an advertisement for parts sales, which he felt was something he would enjoy (and he was right!)

His most unusual job?

He was subcontracted as a Loader Operator at a large chicken farm to clean up manure. That lasted one day! Using the wipers to clean it off your windshield just wasn't for him.

Mike is married to his best friend Nikki. They have 2 kids (Michael 19 and Mackenna, 15). They share their home with a Boston Terrier, Molly, who will be 2 in June.

 

 

 

Outside of work Mike enjoys:

Running, golf, fantasy NASCAR & football, slot car building/racing, woodworking, playing cards, camping, gardening, cooking/grilling/smoking, going to concerts and music festivals. His hidden talent for David Letterman's stupid human tricks is eating a Carolina Reaper Pepper!

Favorite movie he could watch 50 times?

Caddyshack

Something we would never guess about him?

He was in 4H in high school for Dog Obedience, showmanship, and was on the Jr. Fair Board.

Currently he is a volunteer reporter for MaxPreps. He provides live updates, highlights and commentary for the Johnstown-Monroe Varsity football games, Go Johnnies!
