Executive Leadership Team
BSI has helped schools, churches, senior living communities, transit agencies and human service organizations put the right vehicles on the road since 1979. Our leadership team works so that every customer gets a straight answer, a vehicle that fits the job, and service that keeps it running.
Randy Languis
Randy leads BSI, with a focus on how we build, upfit and support every vehicle we sell. Born and raised in Columbus, he earned a bachelor’s degree in materials science and engineering from Ohio State and a master’s in engineering management from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. He spent his career in operations, management and continuous improvement, and he brings that discipline to product development and customer service at BSI. For customers, that means vehicles built to fit how they’ll actually be used, clear timelines and fewer surprises. Randy wrestled at Ohio State. When he isn’t working, you’ll find him with his wife and daughters or out on the mountain bike trails.
Mike Manuche
Mike leads how BSI goes to market: sales, marketing and the tools our team uses to serve customers. He spent nearly a decade at FMX, a Columbus software company that helps schools and facilities teams manage maintenance. He was one of its first sales hires and went on to lead a sales organization of more than 45 people. He brings the same approach to BSI: listen first, understand how a fleet is really used, and help buyers navigate funding and procurement so they get the right vehicle the first time. Mike is an Ohio State graduate and a former Buckeye wrestler.
Eric Waddell
Eric runs BSI’s day-to-day operations, with a particular focus on our service department. Before BSI, he led service departments at auto dealerships, and he brings that experience to every vehicle that comes through our shop. He’s the one making sure that when a bus or van comes in for maintenance, repair or inspection, it’s back on the road quickly and priced fairly. He’s building the programs that make BSI easier to work with after the sale, from service partnerships to included service with every vehicle we sell. For schools, churches, senior living communities and agencies that can’t afford a vehicle sitting idle, Eric’s work is what keeps their riders moving. Outside of work, Eric has been racing his whole life. He’s a two-time national champion in the Performance Touring E class, winning in 2012 and 2019 behind the wheel of a Honda Civic, so he knows firsthand what it takes to keep a vehicle running at its best.
