The March Rytech Quality Service Belt award winner is Parquito Liberal. Parquito hails from Rytech of the Tri-Counties in southeast Florida. And, like previous winners, Parquito has been a runner up for the award in previous months. Mr. Anthony Cruz, also from Tri-Counties tied as an honorable mention. It’s all in the family in the Tri-Counties Rytech, which demonstrates their teams’ commitment to always go the extra mile.
Parquito recalled his most challenging jobsite involved an elderly woman. “Workers cleaning her roof broke a hose valve spewing water throughout her home. It affected the plaster walls, much of the carpet and some of the furniture. I could only think of how I would feel if I was in her shoes, so I went to work doing the dry-out alone. I saved the walls, the furniture, carpet, and a built-in bookcase. She was so happy and appreciative that a stranger cared about her home and possessions.”
Previously the lead technician for a competing firm, Parquito has been with Rytech of the Tri-Counties for the last fifteen months. “The owner allows us some flexibility in scheduling” he says.
This flexibility fits like a glove for Parquito because, in addition to sports, one of his favorite past times is writing. Unusual to say the least–a remediation tech. with a passion for the written word.
Still, he grew up playing basketball in New York and especially loved the sport in high school. He watched basketball, the Miami Heat games and grew to admire Lebron James. He also loved football and is still a big fan of the New York Giants.
But once he got to Miami and Miami-Dade College studying Business Administration, he fell in love with the theatre. His cousin, majoring in theatre, invited him to audition for a play. He didn’t get the part, but…he did become Assistant Stage Manager, working with actors, assisting backstage and learning the world of theatre.
Today he does some acting, usually limited to parts in small venues–local theatre, independent projects, churches, or school plays. And, his passion for writing eventually lead him to begin adapting his short story writing skills into plays.
Maybe writing, acting and water extracting aren’t so dissimilar.
After all, Parquito “The Scribe” is known for some of the most detailed and interesting job reports you can find. Ops Manager Robert Wilcox say’s… “It’s like reading a novel.”
Congratulation Parquito!
