August’s employee spotlight is Mike Wolfe, Operations Manager for Honda Marysville.

Prior to coming to Stratosphere Quality Mike worked in the insurance industry for 17 years. Mike has a degree in accounting and used his degree working with retirement plans during his time in insurance.

The insurance company Mike worked for was sold and he found himself back on the market. He read about Stratosphere in the newspaper and applied.

Mike began his career at Stratosphere as a Quality Inspector in January 2010. In February 2011 Mike was promoted to Team Leader. He continued to learn and train and was promoted to the position of Project Supervisor in July 2011. Mike’s knowledge and experience continued to grow, and in April 2017 he became a Project Manager and in November 2017 it led to a promotion to Site Operations Manager. His ambition and drive didn’t slow down and in July 2018 Mike was promoted to his current position of Operations Manager.

Mike enjoys the ability to do something different every day in his job at Stratosphere. He likes that his current position allows him the opportunity to go to different locations. He really likes the people he works with, many of them he’s worked with for several years.

Mike prefers working in a fast-paced but calm environment rather than a fast-paced and crazy environment.

Mike would advise new employees to work hard and learn as much as they can. He likes to share the story of his journey at Stratosphere to let them know there is an opportunity to grow. He would also tell them you never know what’s going to happen day to day, which keeps things interesting.

What should you know about Mike?
Mike has three children, two sons, and a daughter. Two of his children are adopted. They were born in Liberia, Africa.

If Mike could make the world better, he would eliminate hunger in the world. Having two children who grew up in Africa, and spending a couple of months there, he saw firsthand what it means to be hungry and how tragic it is. He knows hunger is not just something that happens in third-world countries, it is something that is very common, even in the United States. It is heartbreaking to think of kids in our communities going to sleep hungry every night.

Thank you, Mike, for your dedication and hard work!
