Bill Pernini

Bill Pernini, Lead Maintenance Technician, joined Pinellas County Head Start/Early Head Start in July of 2002. A short time later Bill was promoted to Lead Maintenance Tech in order to assist his supervisor Jim Morphew, in the supervisory/maintenance tasks encountered daily by this very busy Service Area. Since then Bill has proved himself to be a knowledgeable professional and an outstanding asset to the Maintenance Department. Bill goes out of his way to satisfy the needs of all staff members. He becomes so totally engrossed in his work and strives to do the best job possible to create a "Satisfied Customer", that at times Bill has to be reminded when its time to go home.

During the renovation of the new Administration Building, Bill was given the exclusive assignment of overseeing this monumental construction and renovation task through to its completion. Bill took on the overwhelming responsibility of seeing that this job was done properly and on time. Bill assumed complete ownership of the project doing much of the work himself and overseeing the work of hired sub-contractors who commonly referred to the job site as "Pernini's Building".

Bill continues to work tirelessly with the same enthusiasm at the end of the day as he has at the beginning of the day. His energetic personality and love of his job truly entitles him to the designation of "Lead Maintenance Technician Extraordinaire".
