S1E8: Tim Vaughan’s Fifty-Year Shift

This week, we chat with Tim Vaughan, a Ditch Witch legend who’s been on the job for over 50 years.Tim started back in 1974, and every working day since then, he’s painted over two thousand equipment parts from the comfort of an air-conditioned spacesuit (Sean’s words). Plus, find out about his first meeting with Ditch Witch founder Ed Malzahn—and what it was like to squeeze his way into the company with a literal grip test.Whether it’s cranking out thousands of parts a day or gearing up for a new, cutting-edge paint facility, Tim’s seen the industry change—but his passion for the job hasn’t.If you’re into stories about grit, hard work and the people who’ve kept Ditch Witch running for generations, this is another one you can’t miss.Send us Fan Mail
