Spotlight on Shane Amen
HEADING HOME
Shane Amen Started in Boise — But Didn’t Stay There!
Building employee-owner, working as a truss designer. They see each other often. “In fact,” Shane says, “we have lunch together almost every day.” It’s a tightknit environment, and that’s good, because no two days look the same — although that can be enjoyable, too. “I love helping people who come in and need assistance or advice,” Shane says. “I love having someone who wants to build a deck and showing them how I’d lay it out or get the right height.” Shane’s most memorable moment came when a customer, having exhausted all other options, showed up at the Burley store looking for corbels. “We all learned something that day,” Shane says, explaining that corbels are a type of exterior decorative bracket. “They weren’t in stock, of course, but I ordered them and the customer picked them up a few days later!” When he isn’t helping customers, Shane’s outside fishing and camping with his wife and their two dachshunds. They also love to travel and recently took a trip to Hawaii — their first vacation ever of that kind!
Most Americans who grow up in rural areas are familiar with the “move to town” dilemma that many Idahoans face. Shane Amen had the same experience when he started working Inside Sales in our Boise location.
Two years later, Shane’s still in Inside
Sales. But he’s no longer in Boise ...
“One thing that sets Franklin Building Supply apart is how many opportunities it gives us employee-owners,” Shane says. “It’s statewide, so if you have to move, they can often find you work close to wherever you’re headed.” In Shane’s case, that final destination was the Burley area, where he grew up. “Now, I get to see people I know all the time,” he says. “I see guys from high school who now work for contractors, and I feel like this store is just a group of friends and family.”
He pauses for a second, then adds, “Friends and legitimately family, too.” He’s referring to the fact that his brother is another Franklin
Thanks, Shane, for everything you do!
