\u201cIt\u2019s been a good ride,\u201d Alan stated as he reflected on his long-tenured and successful career at Carolina Cat.<\/p>\n
The Asheville native started his career with Carolina Tractor on October 6, 1972 and hasn\u2019t looked back since. Tweed graduated from Asheville-Buncombe Technical College after specializing in diesel mechanics and hydraulics. CTE was certainly on Alan\u2019s radar after graduation \u2013 after a short stint with Magnavox, a job became available at Carolina Tractor and he quickly jumped at the opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs soon as I found out I got the job, I quit my current job on a Friday and started on Monday,\u201d Tweed recalls.<\/p>\n
Over his tenure, Alan has held various positions in the organization. He was hired as a mechanic and started his career in the track shed. Alan then moved to the warehouse for 3-4 months before transitioning to working the parts counter in 1982. Ultimately, due to the unfortunate death of a colleague, Alan was offered the opportunity to become the product support sales representative for the Asheville branch. For some time, Alan served as the only PSSR for the territory.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought I would be working the parts counter for all of my life. I was very grateful for the opportunity to move into the PSSR role.\u201d<\/p>\n
On a personal note, Alan is looking forward to retirement and the adventures that await him. He and Elizabeth, his wife of nearly 50 years, are already planning several trips and hope to travel more. Alan is the proud grandfather of an eight and thirteen-year-old and is looking forward to the ability to spend more time with them. When not spending time with family, Alan enjoys hunting and fishing, and is excited to spend more time dedicated to his passion of restoring old cars.<\/p>\n
As this 48-year chapter of his life closes, Alan is leaving with a grateful heart. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t have been here so long if the Weisiger family wasn\u2019t so good to work for. I appreciate everything CTE and the Weisiger family have done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
