Spotlight on Jared
JUNE'S SPOTLIGHT LEFT LUMBER FOR CAVIAR — AND THEN CAME BACK!
Jared Evans, our Jerome Yard Manager, Just Couldn't Keep Away
Did you catch it? “This time around” — this is actually Jared’s second go around with FBS, although his first as an employee-owner. “I enjoyed it before, but when they made the switch to employee- ownership, that was what cinched it for me. I knew I had to come back.” And so he did, with a few more skills and an interesting period of work to show for it. You see, Jared spent 2 1/2 years raising sturgeon on a local fish farm in between stints here at FBS. You might think of classy dinner parties when you think about caviar, but Jared thinks about Southern Idaho and the ponds where he raised the sturgeon that make the stuff. “That job was where I really learned inventory management,” Jared says. It would come in useful down the line. Once again part of a “10 Best Places to Work in Idaho” company, Jared looks forward to retiring at FBS. In the meantime, he enjoys scouting and spending time with family.
As any of our yard managers can tell you, the position is not an easy one. It takes a certain kind of person to keep track of all the moving bits and pieces, organize supplies and materials in a way that makes sense, and still be willing and able
to get out there in all kinds of weather and work like you mean it along with the other team members as we get trucks filled up. Jared, this month's Employee Owner Spotlight, is just that sort of person. He’s a man with an organized brain but calluses on his hands. Of course, he’s a lot more humble about it. “I just like operations,” he says. “I’m a bit of an efficiency guy, and if I can keep things lean, then I’m happy.” Born and raised in Southern Idaho, he’s happy to have a job that suits his talents and the way his brain works. “When I came to work here this time around, I was doing gutters and overhead doors,” Jared says. “But this is much more my speed.”
