Delivering Excellence in Every Moment

May 2026

Austin Kirchmann

Warehouse Specialist

Nominator: Jeff Menster

For: Embracing Accountability

"Last week a truck driver had a delivery for us and he was running late. Austin gets off work at 5PM. The driver said he would be late. Hoping to get here by 530. I asked Austin if he could stay. Austin said "no problem". He could have easily said no. We could have gotten shipment the next day, but Austin was willing to sacrifice to get our shipment early. Nice Job Austin.!"
