There is an old quote that says: “When the going gets tough the tough get going.” Nobody demonstrates this way of thinking better than our own Jamie Jones.

Jamie is a longtime associate, Assistant Manager at our Madison Lumberyard. He can do almost anything needed to run the store, from working and managing our yard, delivery board or at the counter. This makes him a most valuable player.

On May 12″ company leaders got word that our manager Brady Chitwood was having emergency appendectomy surgery. Of course, our prayers and concerns were with Brady. While the rest of the company leaders were entertaining our customers at our annual golf scramble Jamie Jones knew exactly what to do.

Jamie took control of the store, even before anyone asked. We have the most confidence in Jamie’s experience to keep the wheels turning while Brady recovered. The store was already short-handed as this would be one of the biggest selling months of the year. Jamie and his team managed without a single complaint. Jamie led as they took care of every customer and concern that came up.

Brady could recover knowing his store was in great hands for the next month and a half. Jamie would do “Whatever it takes”. We appreciate Jamie Jones, that is why he is our newest member of our exclusive Extra Mile club.
