One of the first things you\u2019ll notice about Holly is her sparkling blue eyes. But behind them, you\u2019ll find an authentic, genuinely humble, hardworking, and kind co-worker and friend \u2013 and, with those attributes, there are no limits to what you can achieve<\/p>\n
Coworker, friend, and family are the three words that unified every response we received when we asked people to tell us about their relationship with Holly Rhodes, Assistant Controller for Crossland Heavy Contractors<\/a>. Upon completion of a successful internship with Crossland Construction<\/a>, Holly joined Heavy in 2007 and found her tribe. During the 11 years that followed, she enriched the lives of those around her, transforming the word coworker to friend, then friend to family. \u201cIn a nutshell, she is authentic,\u201d said Deb Porter. \u201cI\u2019ve never heard her say a mean word about anyone. She is genuinely a good person, kind and humble. You\u2019d be hard-pressed to find a better friend than Holly.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Holly spends her weekdays juggling whatever tasks are thrown at her with her characteristically positive attitude. \u201cHolly is the Pinnacle of CHC\u2019s core values. I\u2019ve worked with her for nine years. The support she gives this team is a huge part of our success,\u201d said Ryan Adler, Project Manager for CHC. Holly takes the compliments in stride. \u201cI\u2019m a complete nerd at heart,\u201d she said with a grin. \u201cDigging into a spreadsheet for the day actually puts a smile on my face. I love what I do and I couldn\u2019t be more proud to be part of the Crossland Heavy<\/a> team.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A self-proclaimed travel junkie, Holly and her husband, Chris, enjoy taking trips together. Her multiple sclerosis diagnosis came four years ago, but that hasn\u2019t burdened her spirit \u2013 Holly remains the sweet soul she\u2019s always been. When they\u2019re home in Kansas, she loves spending time with family, especially her nieces and nephews. She and Chris have completed the pre-adoption process and are anxiously awaiting a little one to call their own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As with all of our spotlight articles, we ask featured employees to share with us the best piece of advice they\u2019ve ever received. For Holly, this was something a former Sunday School teacher shared with her. When we read her response, it fit her perfectly. \u201cAlways be kind to people. You never know what battle they are facing that day.\u201d Thank you, Holly, for the life you so graciously live, for the kindness you so abundantly show. Our coworker, our friend, and our family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the first things you\u2019ll notice about Holly is her sparkling blue eyes.
