Luis Montanez Gonzalez

When a lead team member is not in the shop, it certainly doesn’t mean the work comes to a standstill. It means someone else on the team needs to step up and take on the lead’s responsibilities.

On the windows team, that man is Luis Montanez Gonzalez.

“Luis is our go-to backup guy when the lead is out for the day,” says windows manager Karl Price.

In fact, Luis, who started at Western Window Systems in July 2016, is simply as dependable as they come.

“This guy has an amazing work ethic and never misses work without a good reason,” Price says. “He just goes above and beyond for me every day.”

Price goes on to say that Luis is always striving to make himself better at his job and, in the process, figure out ways to make his line more efficient. Beyond that, he doesn’t hesitate to jump in anywhere he’s needed, often troubleshooting for others.

“Luis is the guy who fixes issues caused by other departments,” says Price. “And he does it without ever complaining about it.”

Congratulations to Luis Montanez Gonzalez, Western Window Systems’ day shop employee of the month for October.
