Kelly is a pro at trouble-shooting and an expert on handling ESCO orders, from initial processing through final delivery.

What do you like most about being part of the Keystone family? What I like most about being part of the Keystone team is how we’re close enough to call each other family.

What do you like to do in your free time? I love being my kids #1 fan by attending all their sports events, from wrestling to cheerleading. When sports aren’t taking up most of the time, I like to continue spending time with my family by going on adventures – from hiking to spending the day at the beach.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? Ireland.

Holiday Party and Awards

Keystone’s holiday party was held at Phil’s Tavern. It was a great opportunity to relax and share a meal with our work family. The highlight of the night may have been the pollyanna gift exchange, which always gets some laughs. Following tradition, there were also some big prizes raffled off. Congrats to Donna Marion who won the 60” TV! Service awards were also given out to several employees who have been with Keystone for 5 and 10 years.

Ira Greenberg, CEO, presented the Keystone Employee of the Year award to Will Patch. Will joined our team in 2016 as Keystone’s IT Manager. As Keystone grows so do our technological needs, making Will’s expertise invaluable. Will is a pleasure to work with — always quick to respond to requests for assistance, and takes initiative to ensure our system updates are installed without a hitch. Will has proven to be a dedicated and reliable asset to Keystone, and we’re grateful that he’s part of our family.

AROUND THE OFFICE

GIVING BACK

Ping Pong Tournament

Every season we like to create a little healthy competition. In that spirit, this fall we turned the warehouse packing area into a ping pong tournament. The entire company was invited to watch the drama unfold over pizza.

Competition was fierce, and the final four spent a lot of time strategizing and practicing. The tournament turned into a performance when two of the four finalists entered like boxers, with capes and fake heavyweight belts!

The final showdown pitted VP of OEM Sales, Andy Joseph, versus VP of Distributor Sales, Josh Brown. They were closely matched competitors. Each player won a game, so they had to play a third to determine the winner. In the end, the victory went to Josh Brown, but the rivalry between our OEM and Distribution teams continues.

Children’s Book Drive

Keystone employees contributed new and gently used books for children up to 6th grade, to be donated to Cradles to Crayons. We collected everything from simple board books for babies to story books for pre-schoolers and chapter books for the older kids.

Cradles to Crayons focuses on children from birth through age 12, living in homeless or low-income situations. The organization provides the essential items these kids need to thrive.

Keystone is happy to support the mission of Cradles to Crayons and help our local communities.

“I am the undisputed champion.” - Josh Brown

“Until next time...” - Andy Joseph
