This Month’s Employee Spotlight falls on Sandy Lotz!

This Month’s Employee Spotlight falls on Sandy Lotz!

Posted on June 7, 2018 by in News, Uncategorized with no comments

Sandy has been with the Crayex family for 19 years, and as the receptionist she is often the first person a visitor will see when walking into our Piqua, Ohio offices. Sandy originally started her career through a temp agency who thought she would be a good fit, but it was the family oriented nature of Crayex that drew her to stay.

When she isn’t greeting people on the phone or in person at the office, Sandy enjoys spending time with her children, or four grandchildren; Bryce, Brynn, Kingston and Konner. In fact, you can usually find Sandy attending their sporting events, or at the United Methodist Church in Jackson Center where she and her husband Bruce are members.

We thank Sandy for serving as the smiling face of Crayex for almost 2 decades, and we hope she stays a part of the Crayex family for many more years to come!

This week we’ll be getting to know Ron Crist in our December 2017 edition of Employee Spotlight!

Ron has been with Crayex for over 44 years, and says he enjoys working with a friendly, family oriented company that values customer and vendor partnerships. Ron was initially drawn into the film industry  by following in his father’s (Larry Crist) footsteps. While he was still in school and in need of cash Ron gave up freshman basketball for a job at Crayex.  As the company grew Ron found himself with many new job opportunities including: clean-up, production, warehouse/shipping, customer service, marketing, purchasing, among others.

When he isn’t working Ron enjoys spending time with his family, including his wife of over 40 years, Gail. He also enjoys his church fellowship, spending time in his garden, perfecting his home brewed coffee and espresso, and grilling and smoking in his Primo Smoker.

Ron is also a proud grandfather with 13 grandchildren aged 2-16 years from his 4 children who range from 31 to 39 years of age. Ron is also a pet-parent, helping to raise his wife and daughter’s kitten Ziva.

We thank Ron for being part of the Crayex family, and if you see him around our facility be sure to wave and say hello!
