Several industry leaders nominated Ron. They and others emphasized
in
their testimonials his qualities of leadership, personal mentoring,
friendliness, honesty, and integrity.
Ron has also been a leader within the PSAI. He's a past Board
President and has served on numerous committees during the years.
To do Mr. Inman and his career justice, the PSAI enlisted help from
several nominators, co-workers, and family members to produce a
video addressing the myriad reasons he deserves to be among the
pantheon of the portable sanitation industry's most respected
leaders.

2019 Award Recipients
Our 2019 award winners exemplify the fair-minded integrity, customer service focus, and leadership
qualities the PSAI values. Review the stories of these awardees, and think who might similarly deserve
recognition.
The Andy Gump Award is named for the legendary M.C. "Andy" Gump of Andy Gump Temporary Site
Services in Santa Clarita, California. Gump wasn't just an industry leader; he was a pioneer in portable
sanitation whose innovative approach to business changed the sanitation field forever. '
The Andy Gump Award statue (pictured on page 1) depicts a cowboy shaking hands with a banker. "It
portrays the way my dad did business," explained his son, Barry Gump. "A hand shake was his word and
bond, and he didn't need a contract or piece of paper to seal the deal."
The 2019 top award went Ron Inman, Vice President of Northwest Cascade and General Manager of the
Honey Bucket Division in Puyallup, Washington. He has spent decades improving and expanding the
portable sanitation industry. Since 1982, Honey Bucket has grown from 1,000 portable toilets to about
37,000 today. Ron joined Northwest Cascade in 1975.
