Doug Medina, Employee of the Month

Doug Medina started with Houston’s in April 2017 as a second shift reach truck operator replenishing stock in pick locations and putting away stock in overflow locations. Cross-trained and willing to help out wherever help is needed, he also frequently assists with picking outgoing orders, and loading trucks for shipment.

Doug really enjoys the people and the friendly, family-like atmosphere. “During Doug’s first month here, he pulled me aside to compliment the leadership team. He had never worked for an organization that went so far to create such a positive work environment,” says Robert Jones, Warehouse Manager.

When Doug isn’t hard at work, he enjoys playing in a drum and bugle corps, listening to old rock music, and can often be found attending local live music shows on the weekends. He is also an avid Kansas City Chiefs football fan. On any given Autumn Sunday, you can count on Doug either watching football or at a live music event. Once a year, Doug and his friends have a reunion at which they all get together to play their various musical instruments. Doug plays the bugle and trumpet.

Doug is originally from New Jersey, and with a passion for travel, has been all over the country. As a history buff, he especially enjoys visiting museums and exploring nature.

Doug’s commitment to helping wherever help is needed, and accomplishing tasks efficiently have earned him Employee of the Month honors for August 2017. Congratulations, Doug! And thank you for all of your hard work!
