Congrats to Tyler Krob for Earning the Employee Spotlight Award!!!

Tyler grew up in Apple Valley, MN and stayed extremely busy playing highly competitive hockey and golf.  After high school he earned his Bachelor's Degree from the Herberger School of Business at St. Cloud State University and was looking for new challenges and a chance at expanding his comfort zone.  He moved to Phoenix, AZ to begin his sales and marketing career in the pool and recreation industry.

After a couple years in the desert and countless time playing golf in his leisure time, Tyler returned to Minnesota looking for a more fulfilling career and to join a team environment with positive colleagues.  In February of 2014 Tyler found just what he was looking for when he joined Rocksolid, Inc.  Through a humbling experience as an entry level trainee, Tyler has been able to take everything he learned and become one of the strongest trainers in the office and has a growing passion for success.  His constant humor is a delight to customers and co-workers alike!  We're thrilled to see Tyler win the award and as a token of appreciation, Rocksolid, Inc. will be sending Tyler to Orlando, FL to meet with a team of executives (and play a little golf) for additional leadership training as his future with the company continues to get brighter!!

He also has a passion for dinosaurs so here is a picture of him pretending to be a T-Rex next to the skull of a Triceratops (yes it's real!) at the North Dakota Museum of Natural History in Valley City, ND.

In Gopher We Trust

Congratulations to Justin Trusty for being chosen as the recipient of the Leader Spotlight Award here at Rocksolid, Inc!

Over the last few months we have not been sharing this award because unfortunately no employees at Rocksolid, Inc have been earning the spotlight.  Since we're not in the business of handing out participation ribbons, President Ryan McIntosh has neglected to give out rewards for just 'showing up'.  

That all ended recently, whether it is a New Year's resolution or a sudden burst in motivation, Justin Trusty has been excelling in all aspects of business here at Rocksolid, Inc.  He's proven to be successful in sales, marketing, training, running campaign meetings and even getting involved with Human Resources as an interviewer.  After graduating from the University of Minnesota in 2013 Justin began his career at Rocksolid. He's had the opportunity to travel for all over the upper Midwest from Fargo to Chicago and even earned himself a trip to New Orleans for some additional training while catching a little R&R.

Travel and training is great, but it's what Justin has done with the training that stands out.  He's taken everything he's learned over the last few months and applied it to his work, diligently.  Having zero sales or marketing experience and a Bachelor's degree in Political Science, Justin certainly was not projected to be an all star in the first year of his new career but that appears to be what he's turning into.  Hard work and putting other's goals ahead of his own and doing what's right instead of always doing what's easy has set Justin on a path to success. 

As January comes to a close we're extremely proud and excited to see what else Justin accomplishes in 2014!  Congrats!
