EAGLES OF THE QUARTER
Andrew is a first time, but extremely deserving, recipient of Eagle of the Quarter. He started at Southern Eagle on 2/15/23 as a Sales Relief Rep and became an Account Manager on 5/1/23. He has never missed a day of work! Andrew enjoys working at Southern Eagle, because of the culture and working with talented and motivated people in every single position. He takes pride in his relationships with customers and always strives to maintain the high level of service the rest of Southern Eagle team have been bringing to the market for years. The most fun part of his job is achieving the many goals he has set, such as finding ways to encourage his customers to say “yes” after being told “no”. In his free time, Andrew enjoys simple things like gardening, working out and any movies or tv shows about space. If the weather is nice, Andrew loves to fish for redfish, flounder and speckled trout down in beautiful Port Sulfur.
Robert started working at SESS in 2021 as a Forklift operator in the receiving department. And since that day, he has never been late or missed one day of work! That is very impressive and we thank you for that. Robert is truly a team player. On a typical day, he goes from unloading trucks, to working on a pick line, to replenishing and anything else we may need done in the warehouse. He is well respected and gets along with everybody. He is always willing to help and does it with a smile. Robert has two sons (Brandon 28 and Bryan 25) and one daughter (Briana 25). When Robert is not working, he does lots of cooking and catering over the weekend. He also enjoys jogging and fishing with his son. He is a SAINTS and LSU fan and when he’s watching football, he enjoys drinking a cold Budweiser…!! We appreciate what Robert does every day for SESS.
Matt has been a Merchandiser with Southern Eagle since April of 2019. Matt services multiple large grocery accounts on Veterans Blvd. in Metairie. Matt’s great execution in his accounts keeps us one step ahead of the competition and maintains a great rapport with his store managers. One of Matt’s favorite things about his job is that he loves the teamwork between him and his coworkers, always having someone’s back on heavy volume days. Matt’s hobbies include shooting pool, watching Nascar, fishing and, of course, spending time with family, specifically his two brothers and five sisters. Keep up the great work Matt!!!
Raymond was hired as a Driver Salesman on January 30, 2020. From day one, he has performed the driver sales job at a high level. He can be counted on to complete any task given to him without fail. It is very common to hear Raymond in the morning telling Al Arnold, while he is doing the routing, to “load him up”. Raymond is a Team Player and frequently volunteers for extra work. He possesses very good customer service skills and this shows with a high level of customer satisfaction. Raymond has been in a relationship with Zelnicka for 10 years. They have one child Raymond Harris III, who is one year old. In his spare time, Raymond is not spending his time lounging in his lazy boy recliner watching sports! Raymond prefers to spend time riding sports motorcycles and is a breeder of “Bullies”, also known as Bull Terriers. He has been very successful in that endeavor.
