NANCY REYES (Agribusiness)

I would like to recognize two teammates that have developed greatly in recent years. Not only have these individuals developed into standout leaders for the Shafter Ca, application team, but they have also developed personally in careers outside of Wilbur Ellis.
These individuals are, my brother-in-law, Miguel Gaspar and Garet Beach.
Miguel has been part of my family since 2015, when he married my sister. He became part of Wilbur-Ellis family in 2018. In just a very short time, Miguel has accomplished many things in life. He got his GED, became a US citizen and joined the Army National Guard in 2019, and has just reenlisted for an additional 6 years. Miguel is the first in our family to join the U.S. Military, and he has made us all very proud.

I met Garet when I came to Wilbur Ellis is 2011, him being just a kid, and I have seen him grow into a smart, respectful young man. Garet has been with Wilbur Ellis for over four years, when he would work seasonal. Garet joined the Air Force Reserve in 2021, with an additional 4 years remaining on his enlistment. Garet has shown great growth and maturity both personally and professionally. There is no doubt that Garet will accomplish great things in life.

Coincidentally, both Miguel and Garet have successful military careers around aviation mechanics. The skills gained in this field will easily transfer over to diesel mechanic skills that are very valuable around application, and application machinery. Here at the Shafter Ca, location, we are very proud of these teammates, and look forward to watching them grow at Wilbur Ellis, and in their military careers. We admire these guys, and appreciate them for being willing to give their time to defend our communities and our country. Moreover, it is inspiring to know we all work for a company that is supportive both in our Wilbur Ellis careers, and our outside of work dreams.
It is inspirational to see young men accomplish their dreams with hard work and support of their families and their employer. Thank you Wilbur Ellis for making this possible.
