July 2022
We are starting the 3rd quarter of 2022 in a very strong position with an incredible team in place. I want to thank every one of my coworkers for making McGuire and Hester such an awesome place to work.
This month is my 29th year of being full-time at McGuire and Hester. I know I look that old, but I really do not feel it. Although our company looked a lot different in 1993, one thing that has been consistent is the incredible people that work here. I was blessed to be taught by many incredible individuals including my Dad (Joe), John Lane, Keith Nelson, Huey Floyd (Dave’s dad), Jesus Ahumada (Ismael’s Uncle), Don Hunt, not to mention current employees including Dave Floyd, Rod Ledesma, Tony Leon, Roberto Pena, Mike Haley, Rob Doud, Mike Hester, Brock, and Bruce. I was fortunate to work up the ranks and grow with the company. In my new position as EVP of Operations, I see how important it is to provide opportunities for growth within our company.
With the recent promotions, especially in Field Operations, it is awesome to see the internal growth that we have. I am so proud to see coworkers taking the opportunities that presented themselves and stepping up to take on the added responsibilities. It is so satisfying to see “homegrown talent” stepping up to the next level.
As the company continues to grow and with some of our coworkers moving on to life without McGuire and Hester (retiring), we will have many upcoming opportunities. I am excited to see that many of these positions will be covered by our up and coming coworkers, but with the amount of upcoming opportunities, we are also going to have to look outside of the company. If you know of or see someone that you think would fit, please encourage them to apply for an opportunity to join McGuire and Hester’s amazing family. We are always looking to add individuals that will add value to our company(s). The sooner we can bring these individuals in, the sooner we can introduce them to McGuire and Hester’s culture.
I know 29 years seems like an extremely long time to be at one company (especially in today’s standards), but if we continue to build on what we have already created, many of you reading this will be celebrating a similar “long” and rewarding career at McGuire and Hester.
Thanks again for everything you do to make this company special.
