Welcome, David Hauck!

As Storage Solutions continues to grow and hire talented new employees, we want to make sure that they are properly introduced to our customers, readers, friends, and partners. Why keep all this excitement to ourselves when David could soon be working with you!

David has six years of experience working for an international telecommunications corporation. He worked in the operations, supply chain, and logistics departments. He was the main point-of-contact for the company’s tier one customer accounts where he handled everything from order entry to material handling and delivery of their products to customer distribution centers. Before starting his career, David attended Wabash College for his undergrad where he thoroughly enjoyed his time in a small college setting.

David enjoys staying in shape and living an active lifestyle by playing golf, basketball and going to the gym. On the weekends you’ll find him either at a sporting event or enjoying a cold beverage and listening to live music with friends and family. He’s also an adventurer. David typically plans a trip to a lake house or ventures out of the country and will go to a place as close to the equator as possible!

What would you like to gain from working at Storage Solutions?

I believe Storage Solutions can offer me the opportunity to manage company projects and allocate company resources on a large scale to build lasting relationships with our customers and vendors. I am also hoping that bringing an outside perspective from a different industry will help SSI continue to build and improve its internal processes and procedures to help streamline business practices.

It’s been an exciting summer at Storage Solutions as our team continues to expand! We are excited to welcome Andrew Goebes, who joins our team as a Project Manager. Andrew has six years of project management in another industry and is looking forward to developing into material handling. Here at SSI, he will be responsible for managing all the in’s and out’s of a project to ensure they’re delivered on time, within scope and budget.

Andrew has credited the helpfulness of everyone on the Storage Solutions team as the best part about working at SSI so far.  He says, “knowing that everyone has a vested interest in your success make seeking help that much easier as ‘the new guy’.”  He is eager to take ownership on his own projects and become a contributing member of the team.

Outside of work, Andrew enjoys spending time with friends and family, and cruising in his 1967 Mustang Fastback (though he tries to avoid getting stuck behind slow drivers though… it’s his biggest pet peeve). His favorite holiday is Thanksgiving because he believes there’s nothing better than being surrounded by family and great food.
