Ivan’s spent most of his career on the service side of equipment and engines. He’s a “fixer” at home, too, installing a car lift in his shop so he can service and repair his own vehicles. It’s that kind of hands-on experience — combined with the ability to understand and interpret equipment data — that he believes sets the Fleet Monitoring Center team apart. He and his cohorts don’t just spot problems; they know how to help you fix them fast.
