This week’s employee spotlight is Miguel Martinez! Miguel started at NLSS in July of 2024, so he’s on his way to his one year mark.
Miguel is the mixed compost route driver and has done an incredible job taking on a very long and busy route during the spring/summer! He learned quickly and has become a fan favorite with his contagious smile, incredibly positive demeanor, and amazing work ethic. He has been such a great addition to our team and we feel lucky to have him.
Here are some fun facts about Miguel:
- What made you decide to work at NLSS?
“I’ve always heard good things about the company, how well their employees get treated and how lucky you are to get a position open up. So when my buddy Gabriel called me and told me that a position might be available, I jumped on it! He also reminded me how great the company is, great management team and coworkers. So I was stoked! Went in the next day to talk about a possible position and the rest is history.”
- What are your hobbies?
“I like to go out for cruises and car meets with my friends and coworkers. If the weather is nice, I’m definitely outside washing my car. Getting it ready for a car meet or to just go out for a drive. If I’m not doing that, I’m at my friend Bill’s chicken farm, helping him feed, water or cleaning out the cages so the chickens have nice bedding, it’s doesn’t pay 😂 but I get free eggs sometimes.”
- Want to tell us about your family?
“I have 3 beautiful kids - Angel, Abel, baby Mia, and my beautiful wife Lesly. My wife and I are foodies and like to try our different cuisines when we can, but it’s hard when your children are home bodies and don’t like to be away from home. 😅”
We are so happy you joined our trashy group, Miguel! Thank you for being a fantastic driver and upholding the company culture so well. Be sure to say “hi” to Miguel on his route. If you don’t see him, that means you need to sign up for Mixed Compost service ASAP 😉
