Rocky Liberty, KC Employee of the Month (September)
It can really change your day when someone takes pride in things that may seem like “the little things,” but are really not that little. Harold (Rocky) Liberty, our Janitorial Associate out of our Kansas City Warehouse, is exactly one of those people. He works tirelessly to make sure that our Kansas City facility is in as pristine order as possible. But his efforts don’t stop there; he also assists Ken, in our maintenance department in KC, when needed with equipment and building issues.
Rocky takes great pride in the overall cleaning of the facility, which is his favorite part of his job. He also says that the people he works with are some of the best he has ever worked with. Sherman Dodd, his supervisor on day shifts raves, “Rocky is a refreshing addition to our Houston’s team. He is ready and motivated to go when he hits the front door, usually with a jolly chuckle. He take on all cleaning tasks from keeping us from overflowing with trash and empty boxes, to cleaning the restrooms and break area are priorities on a daily basis. He also make a monumental attempt at the floors with the floor scrubber. He completes each task with great enthusiasm making sure it all gets done. He has also taken on the task of making sure his fellow associates are well supplied with popcorn on Tuesday and Thursdays every week. I’m glad he continues with us. It takes loads off my mind to have these things done without having to think twice about it.”
In his free time, Rocky’s hobbies are quite diverse. He enjoys riding his Harley motorcycle and has even gone to Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held annually in Sturgis, South Dakota at the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and Hall of Fame, a dozen times. Rocky also like bowling and even bowls on a league every Tuesday night. Bowling isn’t his only favorite sport, he is also a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan with season tickets for 28 years and counting! He even had his photo featured on the sports page of USA Today and caught a football from one on the Chiefs rivals, Phillip Rivers of the (at the time) San Diego Chargers! Wow, what a catch! One other interesting thing you may not know about Rocky is he took the plunge into the Royal Gorge Canyon attached to a bungee cord when he was thirty and says he obviously survived.
Congrats, Rocky, on being selected as our Kansas City Employee of the Month for September 2017!
