Experience and adapting to the times are two things that Tim Kelly, vice president of Brotcke Well & Pump (BWP) in Fenton, Mo., credits to his successful career.
Growing up, Kelly worked in the farming family business. During his freshman year of college, he took a job with a local well drilling company during his breaks from school. In 1990, after two years of working in the grain industry, he started with BWP before leaving to open his own industrial and municipal well company in Wisconsin. Eleven years later, he found himself back at BWP when the president, Paul Brotcke, asked him to start a new office in Kansas City.
