Join us in congratulating First Nation Group’s Garrett Vandemark, our September Employee Spotlight! Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Garrett plays an essential role in the success of our Fort Myers crew as Warehouse Team Lead. His hard work and dedication to First Nation Group shines all throughout the company.
When he’s not in the warehouse, you can find Garrett in action, attending local car shows with his fellow employees, skateboarding, playing video games, or prepping for the arrival of his baby boy due this year!
Learn more about Garrett below:
“Garrett has shown growth and interest in First Nation Group since day one. He always keeps a smile on his face and is very helpful with his teammates – that led to his promotion earlier this year to become our Warehouse Team Lead. Garrett loves fast cars and the roaring sounds they make and that is why he owns a car that has a roar of its own. He is my co-worker as well as a friend outside of work.”
– Jose Calderon, Senior Warehouse Team Lead
What is your most memorable trip or vacation?
My family took us to the Bahamas after I graduated, and it was a fun time! We went to Atlantis while we were there, and I recommend going there to anyone who has the time and accessibility.
Describe your perfect day.
A nice and cool clear sky day on the beach with my friends and family.
Do you have a charity that is near and dear to your heart? Who and why?
The Animal Refuge Center, an organization dedicated to providing interim shelter and medical care to cats and dogs who were once pets, and through no fault of their own, found themselves homeless, injured, or abandoned. I love animals!
What do you love most about First Nation Group?
The family feeling that you do not find in other companies. That feeling and the amazing individuals I work with everyday make my job exciting. I always look forward to coming to work the following day!
What is your biggest takeaway from your time at First Nation Group?
First Nation Group has helped shape me into the individual I am today by improving my work ethic and learning new skills that I can use every day in different situations.
