The grandson of Joseph Mescan & Nephew of Keith Mescan, Braidon started hanging around the windmill business shortly after being able to walk. In middle school, he would go with us on windmill installs & loved riding on the manlift, also at that age he began to rebuild electric aerator pumps for extra lunch money. Now Braidon is in charge of assembly and installations and can assemble a windmill much faster than his grandpa. Braidon has a son Jaxson who is also gaining interest in the windmill business, so they can carry on the family name & windmill tradition.
