Thanksgiving Reflections 2021
Thanksgiving is an opportunity to gather with family in gratitude, and at Park Planet, that spirit runs throughout our business. We are surrounded by a team of people who are committed to each other and the continued investment of our success.
With 2022 on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to slow down and think about the reasons to be thankful this year, no matter how small. We asked some of our employees to share what they are grateful for (...and it’s not all about work!)
What Our Team is Thankful For
Dena Carter, President
“We care so much about the people we work with every day, from our manufacturers to our customers. Words can’t describe how much impact these people have had on the success of our business. Our manufacturers are the best, and without them, we’re lost.'“
Cindy Cooper, COO
“I am thankful for our dedicated team here at Park Planet. Thankful for their health, happiness and all the hard work they have put in throughout the past few trying years. Dena and I appreciate each and every team member and wish them the happiest of holidays.”
Jesse, Head of Design
“I am most thankful for my children and my wife. I’m also thankful for Park Planet and the people I work with, especially during all the craziness.”
Robin, Accounts Payable
“I am thankful for my amazing family and all their love and support. I am lucky to work with a company filled with awesome human beings. Life is good!”
Misha, Sacramento & Bay Area Rep
“I have so much to be thankful for this year! I have an incredible husband and a beautiful 6-month-old baby girl at home. I am also having an incredibly successful year in sales even though I was out for 3 months on maternity leave.”
Karen, Iowa Sales Rep
“I am thankful for fall colors. The lane down to my house has maple trees on each side and it gives me joy every time I drive down it. The autumn sky in contrast to the golden cornfields that have just been harvested makes a beautiful contrast. Really Autumn is the prettiest time of year!”
Andrew, Sales Support & Order Entry
“I am thankful for golf and being able to play as often as I can. I am thankful for having a good job. I am thankful for having my own place to live”
Gary, Sales Manager
“I am thankful for my kids that always keep me on my toes and give me an excuse to watch cartoons. I am thankful for Park Planet for giving all of us the opportunity to grow as much as we want and always pushing us to be better than we thought we could ever be. I am thankful for dogs for always showing us what unconditional love looks like.”
Kyle Knox, Sales Associate
I am most thankful for my wonderful Fiancé Molly, our two cats Murphy and Peach, and our newly added 12 Silkie Chickens!
Nate, Southern California Rep
“I am thankful for my health, my dog Houndor and my community of family and friends.”
Tammie, Bay Area Rep
“I’m grateful for my health, my loving and supportive family & friends, and a career that is gratifying.”
Kasanna, Central California Rep
“This year I am thankful that my family has been able to remain happy and healthy over the past year. I am also very grateful to be able to work at Park Planet with such an amazing and supportive group of people.”
Our Core Value is Family
Relationships are a core value at Park Planet. We treat our employees, clients, and manufacturers like family. Because of our tight-knit community, we’re excited to come to work every day knowing we’re making a difference by creating strong, long-lasting, and thoughtful outdoor experiences for people of all ages.
We couldn’t do it without the people who trust us to complete their projects. Our clients mean the world to us, and we’re committed to making sure they feel valued, respected, and cared for as we head into 2022 and beyond. Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!
