This month on Digging Deeper we’re taking a look at our Parts Specialist Anthony Adams.
Anthony joined our south office parts team back in 2023 and has consistently excelled in his work. He hails from Tonawanda, NY, north of Buffalo. Growing up he always played sports, starting with Hockey, then football, and finally with Rugby at Buffalo State. That love of sports has continued into his adult life. Currently he lives in Niagara Falls with his three very cute cats.
Before coming to ConEquip—or even entering the workforce proper—Anthony was part of New York’s BOCES technical programs. For those unfamiliar, BOCES is an initiative to offer additional programs in blue collar and administrative trades to high school students. Students are trained in construction, welding, mechanical skills, veterinary technician skills, culinary arts, and many other trades, with the objective to give students a path into careers straight out of high school. Anthony participated in BOCES’ for building trades and graduated top of his class. From there he worked in all sorts of construction including plumbing and roofing, the latter which he did for a long while before deciding to move in a different direction. As he put it,
“I quickly realized I didn’t want to beat my body to death until I’m seventy, so I knew a lot about cars and went into service advising and service department management…”
From that career switch he gained sales experience before coming to ConEquip. That experience, both mechanically and in sales, has allowed him to excel in his position as a parts specialist.
When asked what it is about ConEquip that he likes the most working here, Anthony responded with:
“The freedom I get to organize and essentially run my own operation under the wing of ConEquip. I obviously do what I'm supposed to, but ConEquip gives us freedom to do our thing and I like that.”
When asked what it is about his customers he likes most, and what makes ConEquip different, he said:
“Some of the guys are really cool, normal dudes like I am. I get along well with the older generation down to the guys just starting out. […] I really enjoy the calls and reviews I get after I help them. They want to make money just like us.”
“What I and my co-workers do on the sales floor is unlike anything else. We will be there from call one to the day there is a problem, if there is one. Our customers always have someone to call, and we save them money along the way.”
Anthony began his third year with ConEquip in 2026 and has been a steady presence on the floor since he started. He’s one of the best at tracking down parts. As he puts it, he’s a little bit of a “knock-off Doctor House or Sherlock Holmes” in that he can pick up on a lot of things that most folks miss, and it makes him great at finding what folks need.
