-Gary Peterson, Food Service Director, Rochester Community and Technical College

I have been working at Rochester Community and Technical College for over ten years. And yet, it’s not as long as some the guys from ABC.

Dan, Andy, Doug have been here some 15 years along with Joe who has been here going on 8 years. All are supervised by a ten-year veteran, Jill. Prior to my start at RCTC I had not worked with a program such as ABC. So, not knowing what to expect or what I was getting into I was somewhat cautious.

Of course things change. We’ve gone from workers in the kitchen to family members at work. The guys are eager to tell us how their weekend went. They love to share their trophy’s they won from some sporting event or another. They also like keep tabs on me and my co-workers. Asking us how are kids are, remembering their names or what we are doing for the weekend. Andy loves to make sure we are going to church on Sunday.

I’ve come to see that our staff from ABC is really above-average guys doing their best to make people happy.

In October, ABC awarded Taher Inc. Employer of the year. After attending the awards dinner all I can say is wow! What a night. It’s amazing to see a room filled with so many dedicated people. We are honored to have received this award. We are grateful to have this relationship with ABC and the crew at RCTC. Thank you to ABC and the hard working people that make it a success.
