Employee Focus: Ethan Guza

2020 has turned out to be a challenging year. The global pandemic caused many changes in the way we do things, but our employees are as resilient as our products. They have met the challenges head on.  One of those employees we are focusing on in the 2nd Quarter is Ethan Guza.  Ethan joined the Van Mark team as a Logistics Associate in June of 2019.  He will be celebrating his 1st anniversary very soon!  Ethan shared with us that he enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and that he is frequently learning new things in his field of study.  Ethan graduated in 2019 from Oakland University, in just 3 years, with a Bachelor’s degree in Operations Management with a Supply Chain Specialization.  That is impressive!

Ethan describes Van Mark as “Quality, durable products”.  “I see much older brake models that come in for maintenance or parts”.  Ethan tells us that he thinks it’s pretty amazing that Van Mark is able to service brakes that were originally manufactured in the 60’s or 70’s but, are still holding their own with just some basic maintenance.  Recently, Ethan has helped us adapt to the new normal, since the COVID-19 disruption. He has taken on more responsibility in the Logistics department and is immensely proud that things are able to continue running smooth.  We are happy about that too!

Ethan grew up in the beautiful little town of Harbor Beach, Michigan with one older brother and two younger sisters.  In 2016 he relocated to Bloomfield, where he resides with two roommates, and attended Oakland University until his graduation in 2019.  Ethan enjoys snowmobiling in the winter and hanging out with friends in the summer.  He goes home often to visit his family and his husky, Maverick.

Look forward to another employee focus next quarter and be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for announcements.
