Tony Jessup

Get to know Orange County staff... The Personnel File:

Maintenance Technician III

Tony Jessup has worked for Orange County Public Works since around this time last year and has already made a significant positive impact assisting with many renovations and work orders. Problem - solving and tinkering are natural talents of his, and he reflects that even as a child he loved to take things apart and put them back together. He applies that know - how regularly, and his favorite part of the job is getting to “ do something different everyday, ” he says, knowing “ it will never be boring. ” It ’ s no surprise Mr. Jessup appreciates excitement. He served in the 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions with the United States

Juanesta Williams

Support Technician

Army. He says “ jumping out of perfectly good airplanes ” was fun at the time, but it “ seems crazy looking back. ” Reflecting on those jumps, he says the best part was enjoying the view during the drop (after the chute opened, of course). Even today, his favorite movies are action movies such as John Wick and the Expendables series. In his spare time, Tony enjoys pistol shooting at the range. During his military service, he shot competitively as part of the Fort Bragg pistol team, but enjoys it simply for relaxation and fun now. His organization and technical skills help him even outside of his day to day job. He applies them often while serving as a Deacon at Hopewell Baptist Church. Keep up the good work, Tony!
