Emmanuel Carrasquillo, along with a coworker, hopped into a pickup truck heading to West Texas and New Mexico in the dead of winter. Like an angel with mechanic skills, \u201cManny\u201d volunteered to help repair deicing trucks at three different airports in the coldest months of January and February.<\/p>\n

Anytime a deicer is broken down in the winter months, it can potentially hinder flight operations and cause delays. But Manny wouldn\u2019t let that happen; his commitment to his job as Dallas\/Fort Worth Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Regional Supervisor is too strong.<\/p>\n

For his hard work and sacrifice, Manny was awarded the 2016 President\u2019s Award that is given each year to an exclusive group of Envoy employees who take their work to the next level. However, Manny simply states that he was \u201cdoing what I\u2019m supposed to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

From \u201cyoung dude\u201d to the Man(ny)<\/h3>\n

Ten years ago, Manny came to the GSE shop in DFW from across the street at the maintenance hangar. There he began his career at American Eagle, now Envoy, as a cabin cleaner in 2003 at the ripe age of 18 years old.<\/p>\n

Back then, he had just arrived to the United States with his older brother from his native Puerto Rico. Manny says that after he finished high school and right before his 18th birthday, his brother told him, \u201cLet\u2019s go. You\u2019re coming with me,\u201d and Manny never looked back.<\/p>\n

He enjoyed his first years working in the maintenance hangar, but found himself hanging out in the GSE shop because he made fast friends with some of the mechanics. Eventually, without any real interest in automotive maintenance, he transferred to the GSE shop because he saw an opportunity for advancement.<\/p>\n

Over time, Manny embraced every opportunity for growth and is now a supervisor in the shop. He\u2019s come a long way from just a \u201cyoung dude\u201d to a husband and father of two children, he says.<\/p>\n

Challenges and conquests<\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every step of the way, Manny fell more and more in love with his work. Whether it\u2019s working on a deicing truck or making a trip to support another airport, Manny says every day is a different challenge and that\u2019s what makes it interesting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not boring at all, because you always learn something new as you go,\u201d says Manny. \u201cAt the end of the day when my challenge is complete, I go home in peace. I feel good because I help make this place run like it\u2019s supposed to.\u201d\"IMG_DFW_GSE_April_2017_Photo_Shoot-23\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Right now, Manny and Envoy are looking to hire automotive mechanics to join GSE teams across the system. He says that his goal is to bring in fresh faces who have some knowledge of auto repair and general maintenance, and to teach them everything from his 10 years of experience.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, they are looking for people with positive attitudes who have a thirst for knowledge and want to work in a team. Manny says that, as he learned years ago, Envoy is a great place to gain experience with plenty of opportunity to grow with the company.<\/p>\n

Even though Manny has garnered praise, promotions and a prestigious award, he is still humbled by the people he spends his time with working in the GSE shop.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I could share the President\u2019s Award with everyone in the shop,\u201d says Manny. \u201cI don\u2019t do this by myself; we\u2019re all in this together.\u201d<\/p>\n
