Dan Huffman has witnessed
countless changes during his
26 year tenure at Scioto.
Things were much different in
1977 than they are today.
Before the Scioto Club, company
picnics and, even before
corporate headquarters, Dan
reflects on the early days. “I
recall Tom Kruse, Sr. pulling
up in his car at Nestle to hand
me my paycheck before
Scioto even owned an office
building.” |
Some of Dan’s responsibilities
have remained the same over
the years, such as the upkeep
of the swimming pool at Nestle,
while other tasks, including
overseeing the recycling program
have been added as recently
as this summer. He describes,
“Recycling has become
a large part of my responsibility
because everything
has to be sorted and
marked in boxes for proper
disposal.” He further explains
how the food product, including
chocolate trials and milk
outputs go to the hogs; literally
boxed and labeled for shipment
to a local farm where
they become part of the hog
feed, a process drastically reducing
the use of landfill disposal. |
Dan
and his wife, Cindy, a communication professional of
40 years, have both thrived on
professional security. “After
spending time in the construction
field, I appreciated the
work stability Scioto had to
offer and valued it enough to
make a long-term commitment.”
In return,
Dan has become part of company history. As CEO
JR Kruse describes, “Dan has
been a big part of the Scioto
culture of having long-term
relationships with our associates.
Scioto associates may
not know Dan by sight, but
most know him by name for
providing 26 years of service
to Scioto and Nestle. He is
part of Scioto’s proud heritage.” |
