“With Brad now serving as VP of Hamilton & Trident, they are tied together more closely, which is a good thing.”

SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. (PRWEB)
June 17, 2020

We are pleased to announce that Brad Borchers will be filling the role of Vice President of Hamilton Engine and also Vice President of Trident Engineered Solutions.

Brad has worked for Palmer Johnson for over 13 years. A mechanical engineer from Milwaukee School of Engineering and more recently a graduate of the University of Wisconsin Executive MBA program, Brad began his career with Palmer Johnson as a Product Support Engineered. Brad rose quickly, first taking on the role of Support Center Manager, then Director of Engineering.

“Brad had been working on starting a Trident-like, fashion-forward venture for the last couple of years,” said Craig Parsons, CEO/Owner of Palmer Johnson Power Systems. “Jan 1, 2020, was a big day. On top of the Badgers playing in the Rose Bowl (back when there were sports) and the Hamilton acquisition, it’s the day that Brad & Trident formally split off from PJPS, along with Josh Spitza, Mike Karpe, Christopher Rath, George Bonney, Mike Herms, Dennis Cotterill, and Tyler Hibner. Over the last six months, Brad and his team have positioned Trident for growth. In six months, Trident has gone from basic business set-up to implementing processes, improving the machine shop layout, building intubation boxes for St. Marys Hospital, launching a killer website- all while continuing to serve PJPS with machining and OEMs with engineering services.”

“With Brad now serving as VP of Hamilton & Trident, they are tied together more closely, which is a good thing. Andy Telford and the Hamilton team have built a strong & growing business in the Pacific Northwest. However, Hamilton didn’t focus on engineering, relying mainly on engine vendor assistance. Now with the support of Trident’s engineering expertise and fueled by PJPS’s relationships with OEMs, Hamilton will be able to capitalize on opportunities to sell engineered solutions to small and mid-sized OEMs across North America. Paired with the machine shop, now the fabrication center, rolled into Trident, Trident has the capability not only to design powertrain solutions but to build them. When possible, these packages will include PJPS components (pump drives, PTOs, transmissions, etc.) and Hamilton engines. Makes sense, right?” says Parsons.

Pets adopted during the pandemic bask in the attention they receive while their new families are sheltering in place. However, as businesses begin to reopen and people resume their everyday lives, these pets will likely be spending more time alone, and may act out as a result.

ATLANTA (PRWEB)
June 17, 2020

As an unexpected consequence of the quarantining and social distancing championed by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and other health organizations, pet adoptions in the U.S. have increased dramatically since COVID-19 hit our shores. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) reports as much as a 200 percent increase in applications to foster and/or adopt dogs and cats in some areas of the country. CAPInnoVet, a leading provider of differentiated animal health products sold through veterinarians, recognizes that COVID-19 has created some unique challenges for those who added a “Pandemic Pet” to the family during the crisis.

Dr. Leigh Hofmeister, Virginia veterinarian and author of the blog My Vet and Me, acknowledges the emotional link between people and their pets, and notes that this may be exacerbated during the stay-at-home requirements. “Pets adopted during the pandemic bask in the attention they receive while their new families are sheltering in place,” she said. “However, as businesses begin to reopen and people resume their everyday lives, these pets will likely be spending more time alone, and may act out as a result.”

Veterinarians want to make sure pet owners know how to best handle separation anxiety when the time comes for them to return to jobs and activities outside the home. Dr. Hofmeister councils pet parents about ways to make separation anxiety easier. She suggests:

• 
  Wake up earlier than normal to spend time with your pet before you head out for the day. Go for a walk or play a game of fetch.
• Exercise your pet daily. As the weather warms up, go outside in the early morning and again in the early evening when the weather is cooler, rather than during the hotter parts of the day.
• Take advantage of pet daycare centers. This is a great way to socialize your pandemic puppy and keep him exercising and interacting with other dogs while you are away.
• Hire a pet sitter. Plenty of college and high school kids are home and looking for summer jobs. Have them come by, play laser tag with your cat, scoop the litter box, take your pet for a walk.
• If your business is opening up gradually, you may have a chance to ease your pet into the new schedule. Try to leave it alone for a few hours each day. For example, you might eat your lunch outside or take your conference call in your car a block away. Pets need to get used to being by themselves inside the home.
• Make sure you leave your pet’s favorite toys out so he can entertain himself. Particularly with young puppies, toys give them something to chew on rather than your shoes or furniture!

First-time pet parents who adopt during the COVID-19 pandemic may be unfamiliar with preventative measures to keep pets healthy. With the stay-at-home restrictions lifting, now is a great time to bring your pet to a veterinarian for a check-up, especially if you were unable to do so during the quarantine. While periodic grooming will keep your new pet happy, preventative veterinary care will keep him healthy. Annual shots for disease prevention are a must and with the summer months ahead, measures must be implemented to keep your pet, and in turn your family, safe from tick and flea infestations. The best way to do this is with a product like Provecta Advanced, that both repels and kills fleas, insects and ticks. This is a critical preventative measure as pets and their owners head outdoors.

TWEET THIS: How to keep your BFF (Best Furry Friend) safe now that quarantines are being lifted. Be sure to use a product that repels and kills fleas, insects and ticks now that summer is on the way!
