As a Competitive Parts Sales Manager, Nix will travel California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. His experience with almost every aspect of manufacturing during his twenty-four years at Astec makes him an invaluable resource for Parts customers.

Nix will travel his territory by truck, carrying a full supply of parts with him. He can perform a variety of tests such as density testing on silo cones and drum shells. Like all Astec Parts Representatives, he will work with owners of any brand of asphalt plant.

Nix, who spends his free time as a rock musician and riding his motorcycle, sees this move as a "new adventure," and he is excited to begin working on the road. He says, "The only thing I hate about moving is leaving the great bunch of people I work with here in Chattanooga."

Nix and his wife, Debbie, plan to move to California in May of this year. He will join Rick Merritt, Nick Popeck, Travis Sneed, and Greg Painter as the newest regional sales manager for Astec Competitive Parts.
