For 20 years of hard work and humor, please help us congratulate Bryan Wery on his 20th anniversary with Van Meter!

Bryan, inside sales rep, is probably on the other end of the phone if you call Cedar Rapids. He is someone we can always count on, and he's even discovered a new hairstyle that brings more laughter to the office (photo for proof).😄

Congrats on 20 years, Bryan!👏🏼

He just won our employee-owner of the year award. Now, help us congratulate Ryan Grimm on his 20th anniversary with Van Meter today! 🥳

Ryan, wire scheduler in Cedar Rapids, shows up with a smile and does whatever he can to help others succeed.

When he's not helping out his family or his co-workers, you can probably find him exploring the World of Warcraft. He's been playing since 2004 and has over 1,200 video games in his library.🤯

Congrats on 20 years, Ryan!👏🏼
