This week Charli and Bethany reflect on a year of Covid and its effect on life and the pump industry.

Then Charli interviews The Pump Guy, Larry Bachus. Interview @ 26:30
With more than 40 years of experience in the industrial pump arena, his areas of expertise include diagnosing pump problems and seal failure.

As a teen, Larry took a job as a mechanic apprentice in a steel mill and in 1968, went into the Navy and continued working with pumps. After the military, Larry graduated from the University of Alabama in Birmingham. For a number of years, Larry sold and repaired pumps and pump parts. At night, he began designing his own products and solutions to pump problems.

Today, Larry is a leading expert who provides training courses on pumps. He speaks fluent English and Spanish, and can conduct his courses and consultations in both languages. Larry has written a book on pumps in both English and Spanish, both are available for sale on our books page.

Angel has grown her career by pushing boundaries and relentlessly driving for improvement, both on a personal and professional level. Hailing from an engineering family in the automotive industry, she ditched the cars of the motor city in Michigan and headed south to Texas to pursue a career in mechanical engineering research. With the Texas sun on her shoulders, she has spent the last 18 years growing as a woman and finding her voice. She now uses her voice to speak out for those who don’t feel empowered, and to lead them to find their own voices. Angel is currently the manager in the Fluids Engineering department at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. At home, she is the mother to two rambunctious children who teach her new management skills on a daily basis.
