Midwest Compressor Systems Welcomes Kennedy Abshire to the Team

PAMPA, Texas - EntSun -- Midwest Compressor Systems announced today that Kennedy Abshire has joined the company, beginning June 1, 2026. Kennedy, the youngest daughter of owner David Abshire, graduated from the University of Arkansas and brings fresh energy to a company that has been part of her family's story since her father purchased it in 2020.

She joins her sister, Morgan, who graduated from West Texas A&M University and has been with Midwest since October 2023, working in accounts payable.

For David Abshire, this one is different. He raised both daughters as a single father, built a career from the ground floor of the compression industry, and owns a company he started with eight employees and 100 units. Today, Midwest operates across six states with a fleet of nearly 400 units and a team of more than 40 people, two of whom happen to call him dad.

"There are not a lot of women in this industry," David said. "To have both of my daughters choose to be part of this, that means more to me than anything I've accomplished in my career."
