2023 Award Recipients
Rookie
of the year award
Cody Curry
This new team member is described as resilient, driven, steady and realistic.
When he started, his first month was nothing of the norm. He earned the role of “controller” in a short time and had to self-learn the position without a predecessor to guide him. He took the opportunity of the new role in stride with confidence and positivity. He has stepped up to be a leader to the accounting team, communicated effectively and digs in to find out as much about the company as possible as well as helping out his team whenever he can.
We look forward to him growing even more with our company in his future.
