Welcome & Congrats! Brian Beckman was recently hired to fill the role of Maintenance Manager for the Contract Packaging Division. Primary areas of responsibility for Brian will be the day-to-day direction of the Maintenance Department in areas of production and preventative maintenance…inc- luding the supervision of staff over 3 shifts, facilitating communication within the depart- ment as well as with all departments that interact with maintenance, prioritizing activity and ensuring compliance with policy and procedures. His time spent previous to Crest includes 12 years of military experience with the army national guard which included two combat tours as well as 15 years of simultaneous work experience when he wasn’t serving Uncle Sam. He is a Dixon native who is currently lives in Oregon with his wife and daughter. Ryan Crouch has recently been hired to support the continued growth of the Consumer Products Division. While new to this sales role he is not new to Crest. For 15 years Ryan has experienced Crest as an outsider, selling us corrugated boxes. When it came time for a career change he could not think of anyplace he would rather call home than Crest Foods. We are excited to have him on board and know that he will be a great asset for the division. Outside of work, Ryan enjoys spending time with his wife (Amy), son (Elijah), daughter (Hope), and 2 Boston Terriers (Bella and Boaz). He also likes to ride his bike, tinker with cars, and music. We welcome both Brian and Ryan and wish them well in their new positions. Jared Stumpenhorst was recently promoted to the position of Operations Manager in the Contract Packaging Division. This is a new position at Crest that was created to allow some one to focus the majority of their work time on our overall efficiency and effectiveness. While no position can ignore the demands of our day-to-day needs, Jared’s new position will allow him the freedom to work on long term solutions to many of the situations that impact us each day. Primary responsibilities for this position will be operational improvement, project management, customer driven initiatives and problem solving. Jared’s years of var- ied experience and his unique set of abilities put him in the position of being just the right person to fill this important role at Crest. Congratulations!
