Meet Don Y.
by: Steve Brose

Don started his employment at Indepak in July of 1984.  He started as a machine operator, transitioned to materials expediter, and then to his current position as a shipping and receiving coordinator.  Him and a co-worker manage the incoming and outgoing freight for multiple departments at Indepak.

Don says he enjoys working for a smaller company with owners who "truly care about us."  He really likes the 4 day work week which allows him to spend more time with his family.

Don has many hobbies or interests.  They include wine and beer making, creating jewelry from gold and precious & semi-precious stones and making mosaic pots and stepping stones.  He also likes fishing, camping, and going to the Oregon coast.  Don and his wife live in Vancouver, Washington and have a new Welsh Corgi dog named Molly who Don says is "a little terror."

Co-worker comments:
"Don is friendly and responsive.  If you ask him to do something, he will get it done!"

"Don has initiative and goes out of his way to help.  He also has a good sense of humor.  I appreciate him."

"I have worked with Don for many years.  He has a friendly, outgoing personality and many interests.  I really like talking with him both about work and personal things."

Thanks for letting us feature you this month Don.  You are an interesting person and a respected employee at Indepak.
