Tyler Agnew Settles In with RAVAN AIR

As RAVAN AIR marks another successful year of operations, Tyler Agnew, a pivotal member of the team, reflects on his journey with the company over the past year.

Tyler joined RAVAN AIR in April of 2023, bringing with him a wealth of experience from his background in the National Guard, Conneaut Lake Sewer Authority, and as a labor foreman building highways and dams. Officially a camera operator at RAVAN AIR, his responsibilities encompass much more. From critical paperwork and data management to coordinating crossbore inspections and communicating with utility companies, Tyler is a vital part of ensuring smooth operations daily.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Tyler’s role is his involvement in underground work, including the operation of specialized equipment like the SolidFX and the AMP probe. Tyler’s hands-on approach and eagerness to learn naturally makes him an incredible asset to the team. His recent experiences in Cleveland (SolidFX and LiDAR) and Texas (NASSCO inspection) highlight his adaptability and willingness to take new challenges head-on.

Believe it or not, it’s not always paperwork and data reports. Tyler shared an amusing anecdote about a crew stumbling upon a family of raccoons nestled within a utility line—a reminder of the unexpected (and potentially adorable) encounters one might face in the field.

Tyler’s journey to RAVAN AIR was serendipitous, sparked by a chance encounter with Dave Rock, one of the company’s key figures. From working within the industry, Tyler had already met some of the RAVAN AIR crew along the way, making for an even more natural fit. His transition from construction to utility inspection speaks volumes about his adaptability and the welcoming culture fostered at RAVAN AIR.

As Tyler looks ahead, he expresses a genuine enthusiasm for the future. His desire to continue growing within the company is evident, fueled by a passion for exploration with the opportunity to travel and a thirst for knowledge. The supportive environment at RAVAN AIR has allowed him to expand his skill set and tackle new responsibilities with confidence.

Despite the challenges inherent in his role like operating multiple computers at a time and following strict systems and protocols, Tyler remains undeterred, emphasizing the importance of attention to detail and teamwork. The close-knit nature of the RAVAN AIR team fosters collaboration and camaraderie, ensuring that tasks are completed efficiently and effectively.

In reflecting on his one-year milestone, Tyler expresses gratitude for the opportunities afforded to him at RAVAN AIR. He really enjoys working with the team and his fellow crew mates and looks forward to learning the specialty work over time. With a dedicated team by his side and a spirit of continuous improvement driving him forward, Tyler looks forward to the adventures that lie ahead in his journey with RAVAN AIR.

As Tyler celebrates his one-year anniversary with RAVAN AIR, his story serves as a testament to the company’s commitment to fostering talent and empowering individuals to reach their full potential. With Tyler’s unwavering dedication and the collective efforts of the RAVAN AIR team, the future looks brighter than ever for this innovative company in the field of utility inspection and beyond.
