Employee Spotlight: Meet Kristi Bourbon 🌟
Kristi has been with us for three years, and her dedication and hard work as a Purchasing Assistant make her an indispensable asset to our team.
Kristi plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth flow of our procurement process. With great attention to detail, she verifies purchase orders to prevent discrepancies and mis-ships, and handles vendor credits. She is the guardian of our educational discount program and works closely with program vendors ESAB, Lincoln Electric, Harris Products, and CK Worldwide.
Kristi also manages our internal product consumption and works closely with AP for vendor-related tasks since she has built such strong relationships with our vendors.
Before Oxarc, Kristi had a diverse career. She spent five years as a heavy equipment operator and ran a landscaping company for an impressive 14 years. Seeking a change, she decided to explore new horizons.
Kristi was an Oxarc customer in her previous ventures and was familiar with our services and values. Kristi found her way to us through an employee referral. Three years later, she still looks forward to coming to work each day, embracing new challenges, and enjoying the camaraderie of her colleagues.
Beyond the workplace, Kristi's world revolves around her two sons, 15-year-old Kamdyn and 6-year-old Kyler. Weekends are dedicated to family activities and an active lifestyle, including a passion for snowmobiling. Kyler actively races for Cannon Hill Racing.
Former Oxarc VP Don Nelson also enjoyed snowmobile races. Through him, Oxarc had been an annual sponsor of the Vintage Snowmobile Racing in Priest Lake, ID. It's just one example of our commitment to the communities in which we operate. Kristi’s son first raced in that event as a four-year-old; now Oxarc sponsors his team!
We're grateful to have Kristi as a part of our Oxarc family.
