Congratulations on your 20 years at Wisenbaker. You are truly an asset to the company, and we appreciate your loyalty and dedication
What has been your favorite part of working at Wisenbaker?: "My favorite part of working at Wisenbaker is the chance to keep learning. Change is [inevitable] and I learn something new every day, from manufacturing countertops to working with cabinetry, I am grateful for the opportunities I've had and all that Wisenbaker offers."
Congratulations, Jose! Your passion for learning and adapting to change is truly impressive. It's amazing to see how you've embraced every opportunity at Wisenbaker over the past 20 years. Wishing you more years of continued success and growth!
I always enjoy learning more about what our customers do, so a huge shout out to Patrick Winslow for not only inviting me on a tour of the Sherwin-Williams GI/IW facility in Maumee this morning, but also for granting me a bit of nostalgia.
Their facility is in the Osage building, which was formerly the home of TKX Logistics, where I started my professional career over 20 years ago. It was a fun opportunity to reminisce on my career path, having started in motor carrier safety, and subsequently
learning so many other areas of business, including industrial safety, quality, international compliance, lean and continuous improvement, commercial excellence, and pricing.
Over my career, people have often asked and still ask, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” The answer to that question for me has evolved over the years, but something that has always been a part of the answer has been continuous learning. There is always opportunity to learn more and grow, adding to your own unique, personal experience and background. This can help you contribute to your organization in ways that no one else will be able to.
To the younger professionals out there, some free advice! It is OK if you start your career without a clear path on how you want to get to where you want to be. The important thing is continually gaining experience that will round you out in ways that will help you throughout your career.

This!
This is a perfect example of what I spoke to earlier this week, and I couldn't not share when I saw it this morning. The story of Jessica Rioux is a paragon of dedication and loyalty, and she is an exemplary professional with more knowledge than most who are actively in management and human resources departments (IMHO).
Jessica started her career as a receptionist, and I would suggest she is way more than what her current title reflects. Her unwavering commitment and hands-on approach are what had her rising through the ranks. She embodies the very essence of growth and adaptability. And today, she stands as a testament to what dedication and continuous learning can achieve.
You want to know what truly sets Jessica apart, though? Her story. We all have them. My favorite kind of inspiration are the stories, the achievements, the examples of others. Jessica has many, I am sure, but my favorite... Five years ago, as a single working mother, Jessica demonstrated extraordinary determination by pursuing and obtaining her BBA in Business Management & Human Resources - this is no small feat. And, mind you, I needed a little of that inspiration when I was first deciding whether or not I should go back to school.
The hands-on experience she has collected over the last decade provides her with a unique perspective, enabling her to understand and address the nuances of workplace dynamics effectively. That experience makes her invaluable, her person
Jessica mentions that Helen Keller once said, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." She, and many whose titles don't accurately reflect their contributions to their company, is/are a living embodiment of this philosophy, proving that collective efforts, guided by knowledgeable and dedicated individuals, lead to unparalleled success.
Happy 10 years, Jessica, that Southern office is lucky to have you.

Just over nine years ago, I accepted the position as receptionist at STEBBINS ENGINEERING. Much to my surprise, God had big plans to expand my horizons in the professional realm.
Leaving the school system as a para professional, I had no clue the journey I would soon embark on.
After eleven months at STEBBINS, I was offered the role of billing assistant. I accepted the role and embraced it with an open mind.
Eleven months later I was asked to take on the role of Southern Operations Coordinator.
Although I knew I desired growth, I was quite nervous. However, I pushed through the nervousness and embraced the challenge. It’s safe to say, I had no clue the depth of that challenge at the time. Yet, I persevered.
Thankfully, many patient leaders took me under their wings and taught me about the role.
My position as coordinator opened many doors of growth for me. It also opened my eyes to a whole new world that I hadn’t yet experienced.
In 2018, I visited a jobsite for the first time in Fernandina Beach, FL. (Picture below) I was so proud to go out and see what I had a small part of bringing to fruition. To be a part of “the crew” for a few days gave me such a sense of pride.
Today, after coordinating for seven years, I can honestly say that I have so much respect for the people in this industry. Being a part of it has afforded me the opportunity to meet many great people and appreciate the skill set of each individual.
As I move toward my tenth year, I look forward to learning and growing much more with our team.

It’s been 5 months at Quick Quack Car Wash for me. I keep pinching myself as I look back on my list of requirements for my next role from my job search over the summer. I can’t seem to find one of those things missing from Quick Quack.
I definitely won’t be quitting my day job to become a professional golfer. At least not for the next 10 years 😉
However, being apart of a team that encourages you through the misses and cheers on every win is pretty awesome.

3 years ago today I hung my belt up and stepped off the shop floor as a leading hand scaffolder and into my role as NT manager of GGC Industries.
It definitely hasn’t been an easy road. It’s been paved at times with periods of self doubt and insecurity. Also with the massive highs of big wins and success.
But one thing that never wavered has been my ability to take things in stride, learn, grow and get up again tomorrow to do it all again.
I’ve managed to build an incredible team (with whom none of this was possible) an amazing devision of our business and some amazing relationships with my clients. Most of whom have become great mates (there’s way to many to mention)
I definitely couldn’t have done this without any of them or without the support and trust of the OG management team Clinton HeaneLuke NichollsAdam Mcardle and without the support the new school of George Ruka.
One things that stands out in my mind as we go through the rebrand with our new tag line #challengeaccepted. It has been that since day 1 for me and can’t wait to see how far we can take it. Also knowing how far I have personally grown, I can’t wait to see who I am and where I will be in another 3 years.
