Labor Day: What it Means

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It is a yearly nationwide tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

So before the realization that the end of the summer sets in, we encourage you to use this three-day weekend to take advantage of the great weather! Whether you decide to spend the weekend grilling by the lake or staying close to home, we hope you enjoy the long weekend!

In honor of Labor Day, and to celebrate our Storage Solutions team, our warehouse and offices will be closed on Monday, September 4, 2017, and will reopen on Tuesday, September 5. So go out and enjoy the beautiful weather and the long weekend!

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.

Tim Fonderoli
Tim Fonderoli

At Storage Solutions, we push for our employees to not only grow in their professional lives, but their personal lives just as much. For this reason, we are always ecstatic to report good news about a member of the Storage Solutions team. We applaud all of our employees for reaching personal milestones.

That being said, we would like to give our praises to one of our Sales Team Leaders, Tim Fonderoli, on the outstanding feat of losing 125 pounds over a year and a half! Storage Solutions encourages good health and wellness, so we are incredibly proud of him for being a great example for the rest of us at SSI!

Tim became a part of IU Health’s study program Virta Health, citing that his main motivation to lose the weight was so that he would be able to dance at his grandchildren’s wedding. Calling the program “life-changing”, Tim says that he is off of all medications and no longer diabetic.

During his 15 year tenure with Storage Solutions, we have seen him develop as an employee and as a person over those years. Similar to his role at SSI, Tim saw his goal, stayed motivated throughout his entire endeavor and exceeded expectations.

Of course all of us at Storage Solutions are extremely proud of Tim, and we can’t wait to see how else he amazes us in the future!

You can see Tim’s journey in a video by Virta Health here.
