This past Independence Day, we had the opportunity to participate in the Cascade Township Fourth of July Parade, and it helped to encourage some reflective thoughts in our team. In brief, it reinforced our commitment to hard work, innovation, and community. First, as...
Alex is a great addition to the team because he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty and get the job done. His vast experience in construction work makes him perfectly fit to be our field supervisor. When he’s not out in the field he loves to hangout with his friends and family, but if he had to choose a special dinner guest he’d pass up on celebrities and instead pick someone inspirational like Nikola Tesla.
Everybody say ‘Hi’ to one of our newest team members, Baily. This lively lady is one of our marketing specialists and she’s great at it thanks to her confident and competitive personality. She learned her ‘girl power’ attitude from the one celebrity that she’d love to meet, Beyonce. But she also fuels her competitive edge with her favorite breakfast meal of french toast and bacon.
This youngin is still in school, but that doesn’t stop her from bringing her A-Game! Erin is one of our marketing specialists and she loves the feeling of putting roofs over our customers’ heads. Her energy carries through to another one of her passions… swimming. Erin is a pro at the 100m backstroke which is thanks in part to her pre-swim Chicago Beef Sandwiches. If you see her after hours, she’s probably going to be walking her Shitzu, Micki.
Meet Casey, an employee that we brought on not only for his supreme marketing skills, but also because he helps bring the average age of the office down! A recent Ferris State University grad, Casey is all about juggling any new tasks thrown at him, but also any other object. No seriously, he’s a juggling pro. After the 8-5, Casey likes to shoot some hoops or get to crafting something new out of old wooden pallets, but he’s always happy to come back to work because he thinks Larry and Ju are the best bosses he’s ever had (Slides a crisp $20).
Say hi to Sal, one of our marketing specialists and Larry’s son! Not only is he great at his job, but this college kid is also a star athlete. On top of playing football for Walsh University, he also can spin a basketball on his finger as long as a Harlem Globetrotter could. When he is not winning games or setting sales, Sal likes spending time with his friends and family.
As good as our ground crew is, we wanted to hire a fresh face to help us manage our online affairs. Our communications specialist, Abbie, fills that role perfectly because not only is she the one putting the pen to the paper to write our company’s blog, but she also leads our community events and involvement. She comes to us as a recent graduate from Saint Mary’s College but she’s about more than just the books. In her free time, you might catch Abbie doing yoga, baking, crafting, or telling her brother-in-law, Ju, about all the latest hipster trends. If you swing by the office, you’ll know where she sits because you’ll hear her blasting Britney Spears.
Cassie is her name and customer service is her game. Cassie’s bubbly and compassionate personality makes her the perfect person to help out our customers with anything they need. She would LOVE to meet Will Smith, but she’s a little busy because after work she’s taking care of her and Larry’s five kids, and their dog, Rocco! Cassie doesn’t mind though… all is well as long as she can enjoy a yummy pasta dish at the end of the night.
We’re not quite sure how Meghan says “Thanks for calling Irish Roofing and Exteriors, this is Meghan” 243 times a day with so much pep and enthusiasm, but we suspect that the 4 gallons of coffee she drinks a day might be the source. Meghan is not only responsible for our top notch customer service, but she also keeps us organized and on track. Would it surprise you to know that our resident communication queen is also fluent in sign language? Well, she is.
Check out our awesome production coordinator, Mikalin! This goal-driven gal is prepared for ANY challenge thrown her way thanks to her awesome organizational skills. Even though she says she doesn’t have any hidden talents we know that’s not true because she’s a mom and that’s a talent in itself. When she’s not at work she loves to go on walks with her daughter and her dog!
Meet the man who makes sure all of our major projects are in check! Never missing a beat, Alejo is able to build any project handed to him from the ground up. Specializing in our commercial projects, we trust Alejo to oversee and maintain a standard of perfection for every job he touches. In his free time, you can find Alejo either spending time with his family, or shooting hoops on the basketball court. Though he keeps busy at Irish, he would eventually like to retire to a ranch, because he loves animals just as much as he loves roofing.
Now introducing our go-to guy, Rick! Rick comes to Irish with a wealth of experience in building and home improvement, as well as a vast knowledge of project management and supervision from his former career managing a multi-complex residential space. Rick is lucky enough to work side by side with his daughter, Mikalin, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. A true family man, Rick not only makes sure that our work is ship-shape, but he really loves spending time with his kids and granddaughter.
Before starting work at Irish as one of our project coordinators, Dave worked at another building company where he developed his awesome work skills. He came to us after falling for the staff and the atmosphere (but also to give his brother Larry a hard time). When he’s not diligently working on a project, Dave loves to spend time with his daughters, Bria and Nora. That all seems pretty normal until you find out that he likes cats more than dogs (Weird, right?).
Do you happen to have a dictionary on hand? Great! Flip to the page where it says ‘people person’ and you’ll find Ben’s face. As a project coordinator, he deals with customers 24/7 and he loves every minute of it. Before bringing his project coordinator skills to Irish, Ben spent over a decade honing his talents as the owner and operator of a local landscape company. Thankfully, he found his way to the Irish family. In his spare time, you might find him hitting the fairway or at the gym lifting weights, but no matter what he’s sure to come home to a nice steak dinner. Specifically a ribeye. Medium-rare.
Without a doubt, being a project coordinator is Michael’s forte. We’re pumped that we were able to snag him away from the medical field because he’s an integral part of our team. Even though he now helps people fix up their homes, he used to make people smile with his awesome dance moves. When he’s not at work or busting a move, his hobbies include golfing, spending time with his family, and catching a break at his family cottage up north.
With a knack for time management and staying disciplined, Jason knows how to get a job done and works hard to do it. Jason came to Irish with a glowing resume; previously, he was the Operations Manager of a reputable and local waste management company. As prestigious as this guy is, he prefers to be known for loving football, and for being a Justin Bieber superfan. When he’s not out there crushing it for our clients, he’s definitely watching football, with his family, grilling, and spending time outside.
