His journey with us has been marked by an unwavering drive to excel and a constant readiness to help others.
Travis’s primary workstation is the CNC Lathe at Monroe Ira, but his versatility doesn’t stop there. Whether it’s working on assembly, running the HCN 6000, or stepping in wherever needed, Travis tackles every task with a smile and a commitment to getting the job done right. His positive attitude and adaptability have made him an invaluable member of our team. Congratulations, Travis, on this well-deserved recognition!
Nomination
“There was a time when starting an apprenticeship in a machine shop right out of high school was the standard route to a lifelong career. One could train on the job, become a skilled machinist, and enjoy a steady career until retirement. Although those days have largely passed, we still see individuals who are determined to follow this path, building their skills and careers from the ground up. This month, we nominate someone who took that path, our Master of The Lathe, Mr. Adorable, and general exemplar of “How can we help?” for OneMonroe Ira, Travis Alden.
Travis came to us from the fast food industry, he wanted a change and decided that Sattler Inc was where he wanted to be. Since day one, Travis has been and is known for his positive attitude, drive to learn and excel, and always being ready to help out whoever needs an extra hand. His machine out there on the floor is the one CNC Lathe at Monroe Ira, but that’s not his only workstation. Whether it’s assembly, running the HCN 6000, or wherever he’s needed, Travis is there with a smile and getting the job done.
This is the guy who’s bench is always well organized and neat even after a long week of turning all the details for whatever package may be up for his machine, stays late if he has to and is willing to go the extra mile when it comes to getting it right the first time and learning from his mistakes to make sure we’re shipping the right parts to print.“
