BRIAN MATTHYS

Accomplishments
I have almost 24 years at Mid-States. I began in production, then moved into quality control as a foreman and later as a supervisor, before transitioning to my current role as Production Supervisor in Wetcast. I’m proud of the hundreds of projects I’ve been a part of, especially the local ones.
Extracurricular
I usually pass the time in the winter playing fantasy football or going to the YMCA to play racquetball.

I love golf (probably play too much) and spending time with my family. I also enjoy watching mystery-type shows like Dateline NBC, among others.
TRAVIS BASS

Accomplishments
I’ve been with Mid-States for 17 years. I started out working on wall panels for about a year, then became foreman of the stripping crew, then moved to foreman of our architectural area. After about seven years of doing that, I became the lead foreman of Wet Cast, which led me into my role now as the architectural supervisor.
Extracurricular
I’m a small group leader at our church, helping kids learn about Jesus.
Off the Clock
I enjoy spending time with my wife and our three children. Also like to work with wood, building things for the house.

I am a huge Dallas Cowboys fan - and any team that plays against the Packers!
JOSH KUPKOWSKI
Production Supervisor
BRONSON WAHL
Plant Manager - Browntown
Accomplishments
My biggest accomplishment is my family. My wife of 20 years and I have raised two smart, talented daughters. We just moved our oldest to UW-Madison to begin her freshman year and our youngest is a high school sophomore who loves volleyball. Over the years, I’ve spent a lot of time and energy doing little things to create excitement in their lives, like indulging a 12-year-old’s interest in Paris by building a two-story Eiffel Tower out of rebar to decorate our yard, or creating a ball-holding device to practice volleyball hitting.
Off the Clock
I spend my time outside of working doing DIY projects on my house, playing backyard volleyball with my daughter and her friends, going to my kids’ games and competitions, or playing fetch with my dog while sitting on my precast deck or patio (two of the aforementioned DIY projects) with a Corona.
Secret Life
A buddy and I once drove overnight from Wisconsin to New York City to pick up a wrecked Toyota Supra that we bought off eBay. Turns out, immediately after 9/11 you were not allowed to drive trailers through the Lincoln Tunnel. They will stop you. They will make you turn around. You will stop all traffic while trying to U-turn/back up said trailer.

Accomplishments
I did outside sales for over 20 years and loved it. I earned a Bahama cruise and a bonus that I used to put a down payment on my husband’s Trans Am. I sold brake cleaner to Architectural Precast Inc. and that is how I met Diane and Bub.
Extracurricular
I am a member of committees at my church - Albany United Methodist Church - and I also teach Sunday School.
Off the Clock
I love living out in the country with my husband and 17-year-old son Bryce. We have three cats and three dogs. I enjoy drinking sweet white wine and relaxing watching TV with my husband.
Secret Life
My grandma (mom’s mom) was an artist who illustrated a few books. I also had an uncle who won a bronze medal at the Olympics for ice sculpting.
