2021 Reflections

As 2021 comes to and end we start to reflect back on such an interesting year and set our goals for 2022 it is important to take time to celebrate our successes. Although at times 2021 was challenging there were some really awesome accomplishments to be proud of. Both personally and professionally it was a year of growth that has allowed me to mature as a leader, father and husband. In 2021, there were several accomplishments that I am extremely proud of for myself and my team; new facilities opened, putting flags in the ground in new cities, safety records, continuous improvement projects, technology enhancements and many many more but the accomplishment I am most proud of is the growth of my team. Watching leaders who have worked hard for several years get recognized with increased responsibilities and promotions has been a rewarding experience and being the person who gets to inform them of their new role is something that makes all of the hard work worth it. We were able to add two new directors, Lonie Webb and David Broadway to the SE region of our organization. George Kizer was promoted to Regional Manager of Operations support after 24 years of dedicated service and given the responsibility to build out his team with some of NFI's best and brightest talent. Rhea Carter fulfilling a dream of being promoted to General Manager in Rock Hill, SC after years of hard work and building a culture of success. Tyler Puckett taking a promotion to General Manager after successfully completing the AGM training program. There are so many more that I know my team will remind me of everyone I missed but as we look towards 2022 I am excited about the team we have in place and to see who will be next to continue to grow in their career. I look forward to 2022 knowing that the team we have in place has the ability, drive, and knowledge to tackle anything put in our path and 2022 will again be a year that we focus on the development and growth of our internal talent and continuing to make NFI a place where you get to determine your future!
