Meet The Team
Scotty (JR) - Lead Builder
Badger Transmissions’ Shop Foreman and Head Builder is Scotty (JR), son of Scott and Debbie. With 15 years under his belt, Scotty is a master at rebuilding transmissions, diagnosing problems, and road testing to ensure everything runs smoothly. Growing up in the family business, he spent his summers learning the trade and developed a true passion for fixing things. What Scotty enjoys most is the satisfaction of tearing down a faulty transmission, making it right, and getting customers safely back on the road.
Jessie - Office Manager
For the past 6 years, Jessie has been the go-to guy at the front office—greeting customers, answering calls, handling invoicing, and scheduling shop work with ease. His journey started with a genuine curiosity about transmissions, and he’s been a valuable part of the team ever since. Jessie brings great energy to the shop and enjoys the family-like atmosphere—plus, he’s known for giving Mikey K a hard time every day (all in good fun, of course!).
