“I am very proud of Ryan because he is relatively new to the industry and he was able to rise above and outperform other vendors”, says Jeromy Calhoun, vice president, Olmsted-Kirk Longview Branch. “Ryan has gained a lot of knowledge in a short period of time and has an incredible work ethic; we’re glad to have him on our side.”

The award was presented to Elias during a 2020 kick off sales meeting in Dallas.
