Empowered to Exceeed Expectations
Matt Nashadka, Wilson Reitter, Nicke Headley, Juan Sanchez, Lindsey Gill, William Candelaria, Frankie Flores
I just got a call from Matt Nashadka, he indicated that the team just completed (MC) on stamp 1 at Bloom today. Bloom has indicated that the previous quickest install for them was like 2 ½ MONTHS for one stamp but said that if we were as good as we said we were that if we got one done in 1 week, they'd pay us a $100K bonus.
Matt called to say they just signed the letter saying we'd achieved competition in 1 week and to bill the $100K
Needless to say, the below team (some onsite and others working in the background to make the impossible possible) that is making it all happen is absolutely rocking it out there and all deserve a massive thank you for executing this safely but in absolute record time!
Justin Bliss
I am sending an E3 for Justin Bliss, focused on Discipline. When he signed up for the Project Management course through KeeleyU, his workload was vastly different than when the course was wrapping up. As I continued to support and encourage him, I was worried he may not complete it. I reached out to him on 7/29 as he had 3.5 modules to still complete and he advised how much pressure he was under with the number of hours he was working and the multiple roles he had to take on across multiple projects. I asked if he thinks he can complete the remaining 3.5 modules and complete his final presentation upload by 8/15 and he said yes.
Not only did he complete it on time, but he also rocked the presentation and thoroughly impressed leadership. His presentation will be used as a model for future submissions. That is discpline in action!
Ryan Chiarelli
I wanted to take a moment to recognize and commend Ryan Chiarelli for the outstanding work he has been doing in leading both the people team and the accounting team through the UKG to CMiC integration.His ability to communicate in a clear and direct manner has been instrumental in ensuring that everyone is on the same page and working towards the common goal. Ryan has shown remarkable adaptability, skillfully adjusting to the evolving needs and challenges of our teams. This flexibility has undoubtedly contributed to the progress we have experienced. Ryan is a huge asset to the IT team and his efforts to successfully work cross-departmentally are appreciated.
Lily Hanlon, Ashely McGoff, Diana Ramirez
The Property Management team gets dealt challenge after challenge. Daily. It’s just the nature of our business. But recently, when faced with an exceptionally large challenge to bring a property that had fallen behind back up to 95% occupied ASAP, I was inspired by the all-hands-on-deck approach the team has so quickly taken to make this happen. Lily Hanlon has jumped in working dual shifts to take ownership of the property. She’s working closely with vendors to get deferred maintenance completed, getting resident issues resolved, and just as importantly – if not more! - thinking outside the box on how to drive traffic to bring new prospects to the building. After reviewing numbers on Wednesday, I made a comment that we needed to get a new special and marketing plan in place now ahead of the slow leasing season. She met with Ashley and Diana yesterday morning. Withing an hour, the three of them had produced five new ideas to launch and by 5:00 yesterday, Ashley McGoff and Diana Ramirez had produced an Eblast, Raffle poster, Tour Card, Apts & Development one-pager, Renewal Menu, Boeing one-pager and more… THEY CRANKED IT OUT! All-while Diana managed the office at Marlowe and Ashley finished the E-blasts for 8 other buildings and a presentation for today. I’m just so impressed and thankful for a team that jumps in and rolls up their sleeves to get things done when needed. Teamwork at its finest. Big E3 and Thank you to Lily, Ashley and Diana! I see 95% in our future REAL SOON!
John Stackpole
John Stackpole is long overdue for an e3 for his contributions to Keeley Construction. John has been instrumental with opening doors for Keeley: he is tenacious, he follows through, and he is Always Selling! This past week, Civil attended the RE+ Solar Conference and countless times we all echoed “This has been one of best conferences we’ve been to…John is a Rockstar”. John prepped weeks ahead setting up key meetings with new and existing clients that will 100% lead to future work. Thank you John!
Rob Miller
This is my official recommendation for Rob Miller to receive an E3 for his participation / leadership in the KRS OSHA citation. The support information is the email below. Thanks again Rob for your help and support!! : I want to give special recognition to Rob. Rob did a fantastic job from the beginning to the end of the meeting. Rob’s commitment to safety in general, passion for safety and overall knowledge of safety in our industry was over the top. Rob did a great job explaining Keeley’s safety culture and the many programs that Keeley implements daily. Rob is truly a walking safety encyclopedia!! And we all know Rob is a great communicator! When he told her he was prepared to discuss ever page in the 5” think binder one at a time, I knew we were going to win!!
Don Recar
I am sending this email to recognize Don Recar for his passion in developing the leadership skills of his team and by embracing the People focus of our Keeley values. He came to us wanting to create something meaningful for his team so they can learn the foundational emotional intelligence skills to help them be successful and less stressed on the job. In my conversations with him, his care for his team is quite evident. I believe in celebrating our leaders who lead through example and truly value the experiences and career growth of their team members. Thank you, Don for being this kind of leader.
Tom Rojas, Ryan Michael, Jason Beaty
I want to acknowledge the great team effort from three Keeley’ns who worked with me to resolve several issues I’ve been experiencing with my home printer, my laptop computer, and my new cell phone I received when the company switched from AT&T to Verizon service. Tom Rojas, and two Keeley’ns from the Help Desk, Ryan Michael & Jason Beaty, spent much of last Friday afternoon, September 19, working together to resolve the issues I’ve been encountering with my equipment. Tom Rojas spent a couple hours at my house working on the Brother printer in an attempt to get the laptop to communicate with the printer in order to print documents. Ryan and Jason spent an equal amount of time working on my newly issued cell phone and the laptop. I’m sure they had more pressing things to do on a Friday afternoon. I’m grateful to all three men for their positive attitude as they collaborated to resolve the issues. The printer may be too old to salvage, but the laptop and cell phone issues were resolved thanks to their spirited cooperation.
Juan Sanchez Rodriguez
Juan has taken the Bloom onsite team to a new level. His renewed energy and dedication have been contagious, inspiring everyone around him. What stands out most is his growth as a leader—choosing to teach and guide rather than simply correct. Recently, Juan reviewed an onsite JSA and noticed areas missing key details. In the past, he might have responded with frustration. This time, however, Juan gathered his team and walked them through the importance of including even the smallest details. His approach not only reinforced expectations but also left each team member with greater knowledge, confidence, and a sense of compassion. Juan’s ability to turn a potential mistake into a teaching moment reflects the positive, well-rounded leader he has become. His influence is raising the standard for the entire team.
Aggie Sherwin
I’d like to nominate Aggie for an E3 in recognition of her outstanding work on the First Bank of Alabama – Childersburg project. Aggie traveled solo to capture site photos for the Financial Facilities Group. Despite facing unexpected adversity (including the mysterious disappearance of her ID—possibly the work of a mischievous armadillo), she remained composed, pushed through the challenge, and successfully delivered high-quality finished site photos for use as company marketing material. Her grit, determination, and refusal to back down exemplify the spirit of the E3 award. Thank you, Aggie, for your resilience and commitment to excellence
Robert Redell
Robert is in a key role on the Bunge Flash Project. There has been a tremendous amount of turnover in the Bunge controls leadership organization which, in turn, has led to Robert having to pick up additional duties and responsibilities over and above what he is there to do. The client personnel are not experienced in large scale construction which also leads to Robert having to continually guide, advise, and contend to help them use consistent, proven construction practices. In a project that has had a constant state of change in leadership, Robert has maintained a steady focus and is a great example of leadership in times of uncertainty and adversity. His team members look up to him and he leads by example. I am proud to have Robert on our team. He never quits and quietly marches forward while never succumbing to the environment around him. His is a shining light.
Homero Garcia
Homero is the lead Keeley person on the Bunge Flash Project. This project has proven to be a very tough environment to work in as there is constant change on the client leadership side. Also, our team deals with much less experienced construction personnel on the client side. However, Homero has consistently maintained a positive leadership attitude and leads by example. He has waded through some major adversity on this project and is staying in the fight. He continually cares for our Keeley’ns and sets a great example of resolve and grit. I am proud to have Homero leading our team on this project.
Carlos Avaloes and Alexis Garcia
Good Catch! Carlos Avalos (PFA) and Alexis Garcia (WLD) noticed a flinch leak during first Gas on job site; their monitors were not detecting the leak but they were able to smell a light sense of gas, however their safety mind set and communication protocols on site influenced to inform the commissioning team immediately. Keeley and Commissioning took care . This action was recognized during morning meeting by SCS Safety and Keeley. This is another example on how this type of behavior it’s been making a huge impact on site to maintain the best Safety Work Environment here at Brevard RNG.
