The Crest Industries Culture Corps is a group of team members nominated and recognized by their peers as examples of our Values in action. Each month, one member of the Culture Corps is recognized as a Culture Champion for their outstanding efforts of living our Values and helping our teams, customers and communities grow beyond what we believe is possible. These Culture Champions receive the “Walkie-Talkie Award” for their commitment to walking the talk and living our our Values every day.
We extend trust, build confidence, and hold each other accountable.
We win when we all win together. We create mutual success and build trusting, lasting relationships.
We are never content with "that's how it's always been done." We question to understand, learn, continuously improve, and innovate.
We ambitiously turn challenges into successes through perseverance, resilience, and a will to win.
Congratulations to Stacey Hayes, Office Manager at Beta Engineering. Stacey has been a part of the Beta Engineering team for more than 25 years, and she has become a key example of what it means to live our values. Stacey was nominated by her coworker, Kim Long, and Kim was passionate about celebrating how Stacey has empowered her and other team members to grow and be the best they can be. She never lets the stress of the job interfere with her heart for our teams and makes sure we all have all we need to succeed. Other team members share how she is a fantastic representative for the Culture Corps as she goes out of her way to welcome, support, and empower the teams at Beta and beyond.
Congratulations to Nick Thomas, Factory-Built Substation (FBS) Technician at DIS-TRAN Packaged Substations. Nick started at our Product Support Services (PSS) facility at the Alexandria Regional Port almost two years ago, and his teammates have noticed how he shows up and gives it his all every day. Nick’s nominator, Cedrick Wilson from DIS-TRAN Packaged Substations (DTPS), says that Nick “really gives 100% daily and is always willing to learn, accept responsibility, and grow. He values the ideals, goals, and standards of the company,” and we are lucky to have him on our team.
Congratulations to Jimmy Eubanks, Inventory Manager for DIS-TRAN Steel. Jimmy has been with DIS-TRAN Steel and Crest Industries for more than two decades! With his 20 years of experience, without a doubt, he is a huge asset to Crest’s team. Jimmy has many connections and has purchased steel in just about every market. However, it is Jimmy’s ability to lead through influence and live out our Crest Values that help enable DIS-TRAN Steel to succeed on an unlimited scale. Jimmy’s competitive. He’s determined and rises to every challenge. His teammates say it best, “Jimmy is Jimmy and that’s why we all like Jimmy.” Crest is thankful to have Jimmy as a member of its Crest family.
Congratulations to Pat Abernathy, Counter Sales Manager at Mid-State. Pat is someone who challenges you to do better every day and will be there for you anytime you need him. Pat was nominated by his teammates who spoke about his talents and compassion as a coworker, supervisor, father, and friend. They say that Pat is one of the best human beings that they know, and many of his teammates would not be who they are today without the help and support from Pat.
Congratulations to Nikki Edwards on being inducted into the Crest Culture Corps for the month of July and being named Culture Champion! Nikki is a Talent Acquisition Specialist for Crest and works directly with the DIS-TRAN Packaged Substations’ team to recruit and retain our most valuable asset, our people. Nikki brings incredible passion to our teams across Crest Industries. For so many of Crest’s team members, Nikki is the source of encouragement, information, and support from the time they applied, to their first day on the job, and beyond. Her teammates say that she is a great example of “doing the right thing,” “winning together,” “questioning the status quo,” and “rising to the challenge.” Nikki shows true leadership by empowering and supporting our teams across Crest and goes out of her way to galvanize and celebrate her team.
Kacie is the embodiment of rising to the challenge and shows true leadership by empowering and supporting her team at MG. She encourages them to communicate effectively, build skills, and expand their work experiences to grow and pull together as a team. When presented with new ideas or projects, she asks all of the right questions to understand why things are done the way they are and if they can be done better. She often presents new ideas or methods to perform tasks, improve efficiency, or solve a problem for the company. But even more importantly, she also makes everyone feel valued and part of the team and focuses on winning together and supporting the MG and Crest Family wherever she can.

Congratulations to Sherri Roy. Sherri is the Proposal Assistant at Beta and was nominated by her teammates to be inducted into Crest's Culture Corps for the month of April. Sherri is in a key position at Beta supporting the busy Beta proposals team and maintaining the filing, organization, contract creation, and administrative duties for the entire department. In line with both Crest and Beta’s values, Sherri does it all with a positive and team-player attitude. She pursues that which challenges her and makes sure the entire team can win together and succeed on an unlimited scale.
Congratulations to Shannon Dauzat, Programmer/Analyst at DIS-TRAN Packaged Substations. Shannon was nominated by his supervisor for always bringing a can-do mentality to the team and rising to the challenges that come from handling Epicor. Shannon always keeps a good attitude and doesn’t shy away from the issues or struggles he encounters – rather, Shannon charges the storm. His teammates say that if it wasn’t for Shannon, the team would struggle to get everything done through the help of consultants – limiting DIS-TRAN Packaged Substations’ agility to quickly serve its customers and teams.
