Janell Kautz

September Employee Spotlight

Congratulations to our September Employee Spotlight of the Month, Janell Kautz!

Outside of work, you can find her spending time with Doobie, her 6-year-old red-nose Pit Bull, Great Pyrenees and Brown Lab mix - a big, goofy boy who is exceptionally talented at being lazy.

If she could learn any new skill, it would be fully restoring a car from start to finish. After years of helping her dad in the garage, she’d love to take on a restoration of her own - especially anything made before 1995.

Her superpower of choice? While summoning a Red Bull out of thin air is tempting, she’d choose the ability to know exactly what people mean, not just what they say.

When it comes to food, Italian and BBQ are at the top of her list. A good pasta dish or anything smoked for approximately 40 hours is always a win!

We appreciate all your hard work, Janell!
