Employee Spotlight: Israel “Izzy” Herrera-Ramirez – 31 Years
Some people show up to work.
Others become part of the place.
Israel “Izzy” is firmly in that second category.
With an astonishing 31 years under his belt as an equipment operator out of Canby, Izzy has seen just about everything this industry can throw at you and handled it with the kind of steady skill and experience you can’t teach.
But if you’ve ever met him, you know it’s not just his experience that stands out.
Izzy is super friendly, always talkative, and the kind of person who makes a long day feel a little shorter just by being around. Whether he’s catching up with coworkers or keeping things moving out in the field, he brings energy and personality with him wherever he goes.
Three decades in, and still showing up with that same spirit? That’s something special.
We’re lucky to have you, Izzy!! Thanks for everything you’ve given to this team over the years 👏
