This past December, we celebrated a huge milestone: Michael Zimmer, our truss designer at our Boise location, has been with Franklin Building supply for five years! Michael’s story is a little different than some of the others who have joined our team. His journey with us started as a temporary employee through an agency at Boise Supply Company where he loaded shingles and drywall. “Even as a temporary employee, I could sense that employee- ownership was something special, and I decided to think like an owner four months before I even began my first year of service with Franklin Building Supply,” Michael tells us. While still contracted with Boise Supply Company, Michael displayed his eagerness to work and take on any task — he even pulled weeds when it was slow. He moved up the chain quickly, being promoted from loading materials to an express delivery driver, IN THE SPOTLIGHT Celebrating 5 Years With Michael Zimmer
then to an account coordinator. “I was still hungry for more and I shifted over to sales where I maintained the ‘I’ll do any job’ mentality,” says Michael. Michael takes great pride in his work and enjoys setting the atmosphere of the entire process for the customer,
ensuring that they are happy and communicated with well. Michael takes his time with each customer, making sure everything is done right the first time so there aren’t any callbacks or repairs. Outside of work, he enjoys working on the “not so tiny” tiny house that he and his wife began working on roughly two years ago. Once it’s completed, he hopes to have more time for a hobby of his: creating blown glass! You also may find Michael out on the water; he loves to fly-fish and scout local tributaries in search of bull trout. He is also a huge family man and enjoys camping and hiking with his wife and son! Michael, we thank you for a great five years and look forward to having you create a great customer experience every time for many years to come!
