Speaker: Leeland Borba, Top line Technician

Which of Sunstate’s Core Values do you find most inspiring, and how has it influenced your approach to your work?

Leeland Borba: All I find most inspiring is empowerment because most companies don't let you make decisions where some states let you make decisions. And if you make the wrong decisions, as long as you grow from the mistakes, everything's gonna be ok.

Reflecting on your interactions with co-workers, how would you describe the level of camaraderie and its impact on your work environment?

Leeland Borba: Whether it's your first day here at Sun State or you transferred in from another yard or out of state. The camaraderie here at Sun State is like having a second family. Everybody cares about everybody. They ask how you're doing, how your family is doing. Um, makes coming to work every day at Sun State. Very, very enjoyable. And I wouldn't have any other way or wanna work in any other place.

Looking forward, what excites you the most about continuing your journey with Sunstate?

Leeland Borba: New training facilities. That's a big thing. And I know as we go farther along Sun State plans on opening up more yards or more facilities, which will create more career advancement opportunities, which is pretty exciting.

Share your favorite Sunstate story or memory.

Leeland Borba: Memory here, Sunay is actually when I transferred from Yucaipa, California to Charlotte, North Carolina. It actually afforded me the opportunity to take time and travel across the country and along the way, take my family and see sights that myself and my kids have haven't seen before along the way to the new yard, which is very exciting, not only for myself but for my family.
