How would you describe the culture at YKK AP?
I would describe the culture at YKK AP as involving our Fundamental Behavior, “Do the right thing, Always.” This culture is ever changing for the better.
What does a typical day look like for you?
No day is the same for me. There is no typical day. As a rule of thumb, I get a pulse for the production status, assess any key emergency items that need to be taken care of, and then go on with my schedule. From walking the shop floor to board meetings, my schedule follows the same process every day, starting with Safety, moving on to Quality, and ending with Service.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
The most rewarding part of my job involves watching teams form and begin to perform on their own. I also enjoy seeing the entire Residential team gelling together as a unit as opposed to working in silos.
Any other positive experiences that you would like to share that may help build the brand?
We donated repurposed windows to Habitat for Humanity to help build five homes. We also donated windows to churches located in Dublin, Perry, and Dexter, Georgia.
These churches used the windows to help build a maternity ward inside of shipping containers.
What’s something about you (a fun fact) that not many people know?
I love to play the drums. From Metallica to Gospel, I enjoy all genres of music.
