Sam Rochester

Born in Rome, GA and raised in Atlanta, Sam grew up in a mechanical family where his father owned his own business after serving in the military. He and his three brothers worked hard in the family business from a very early age. Most all his abilities to serve customers well came from the lessons learned during those years. Being able to weld, cut, and turn wrenches gives him confidence to understand most industrial plant and equipment issues. He thanks his children’s mother for showing him how technology can make his job easier, more organized and make him look much smarter than he really is. He has been an industrial contractor or salesperson for over 20 years, which has been a blessing. He has been a part of many plant and equipment solutions and many good relationships with customers. Sam loves people and loves to feel productive. He is very thankful to be working for VEBCO where his morals, values and ethics are not challenged, they are cultivated. 

Waylon

Waylon started with V.E. Brackett in January 2023. His primary responsibilities are chasing cats outside the office & greeting deliveries. In his free time he enjoys soccer, frisbee, and a new found hobby of paddleboarding.
