Congratulations to all the award winners!

Zach is a cashier at H&H Mobil. He was nominated by his boss, Josh, who says while his quiet bravery may have gone unnoticed by many, it’s been greatly appreciated by him and Zach’s coworkers. Zach has worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic, diligently disinfecting the station and enforcing masks while continuing his regular duties of answering phones and helping customers both in the store and out on the drive. He’s known to their staff for helping in any way without complaint and for always going above and beyond. Recently engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Cassie, Zach’s unending cheerfulness and positive attitude have been the welcome relief his coworkers and customers have needed.

While he’s an overall cheerful person, Zach believes his coworkers, who are some of his best friends, make it easier to keep a positive attitude while working through COVID. His main goal is to approach each day as if nothing has changed other than precautions like wearing masks. He believes it’s important to his customers that they’re able to maintain a bit of normalcy in their day, like a trip to the gas station, and he’s happy to help. It’s people like Zach that keep our community going each day, and we thank him for his attitude and dedication!

Zach will receive a $100 gift card to Coral Gables East Lansing. Originally built in the 1920s as a roadhouse, Coral Gables hosted some of America’s most popular bands through the 30s and 40s before burning down in 1957. It was quickly rebuilt and transitioned to the rock ’n’ roll sound of the time, becoming a favorite spot of MSU students to meet up and dance. Today, Coral Gables is a family restaurant and banquet space known for its homemade specials and quality service. Under the same family ownership since 1968, Coral Gables often serves returning Spartans from near and far to reminisce on evenings spent dancing at Coral Gables, ordering their first drinks or meeting their future spouses!
