Core Value Splotlight: Willingness and Desire to Sacrifice and Serve
Sacrifice and Serve is what comes to mind when you think of Eddie Santizo. He took on the challenge of the Shop Manager role midway through last season and has made huge improvements to the Central North’s shop. He will work long hours to make sure the equipment is in top condition and make sure every detail is being caught. …
Core Value Spotlight: Willingness and Desire to Sacrifice and Serve
Dakotah Ellis’s willingness and desire to sacrifice and serve for the Three Rivers team and for the crop has definitely been a game changer this year.

WF Pride: Positive Attitude and Passion for Life and Work
Bella, our year and a half old Black Lab, is an amazing dog that loves to fetch and retrieve everything. She gets so excited to return a golf ball, a Frisbee, or a training device. I have spent countless hours working with her and training her as a bird dog to retrieve ducks, geese and pheasants. Since she is still …
WF Pride: Focus on Unity and Humility
For well over two years now, I have been writing these weekly blogs centered in and around our core values as a company. I follow them in order each week as I go down the WF- PRIDE acronym. How ironic that this week’s blog is on unity and humility, at a time where we see our big cities protesting and …
WF Pride: Willingness and Desire to Sacrifice and Serve

WF Pride: Excel in Communication
I was in awe as we pulled into the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) in San Diego, California last week to watch my son, Cameron, graduate from Marine Boot Camp. The size and scope of the base was unbelievable – it was a city within a city – as nearly 5000 recruits along with drill instructors, officers, and their families …
WF Pride: Discipline and Accountability
When I was a young kid I dreamed of being an NFL quarterback. I used to pretend I was Dan Marino leading the Miami Dolphins to a last second victory over my brother’s favorite team – the Pittsburg Steelers. As I grew older, I realized that it wasn’t going to come true. I was too short, too slow, not athletic …
WF Pride: Integrity
It’s an interesting political season – and that’s a huge understatement. It’s pretty sad really that these two, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, are our choices for President of the United States. So much dishonesty, so many lies, partial truths, and half-truths, to go alongside topics such as taxes, deleting emails, Benghazi, national security, building a wall, race, poverty, education, …
WF Pride: Recognition and Respect of Others
Why is it that the first time we meet someone we always ask what they do for a living? Does it make a difference to us what they do? It shouldn’t. But sadly enough it seems like it does. Whether we admit it or not, people tend to put more value in certain jobs and professions and less in others. …
