It's the time of year that we at Findorff highlight stories around our core values of Character, Community, and Craftsmanship. As we recognize our character this month, Findorff is celebrating the power of positivity. In the past 130 years, Findorff has experienced many remarkable milestones and has lived through some historical challenges. As a company built upon the character of our employees, we believe through struggle comes tremendous strength. This is never truer than today. However, throughout these past few months, we have found heartwarming ways our employees have helped each other, and their communities stay positive. Let us introduce you to D-Nelly.

‍

Darnell Reynolds is a character with character. He began writing poetry in middle school and later made the transition into music. Eventually the persona D-Nelly was born. Today, Darnell raps about life, lessons, love, and all things positive. He says his career as an ironworker brings him great joy and his passion for music allows him to share those positive messages with whomever will listen, including those on the job site.

‍

Darnell takes his leadership role on construction sites seriously as well. As an ironworker foreman, Darnell mentors apprentices on the job and enjoys sharing his knowledge of the industry with those new to the trades. Darnell exemplifies quality of character through his positive outlook and his love for family and community.

We at Findorff are proud to work with individuals who share our values so deeply.Stay tuned as we highlight another one of our core values, community, in the next installment of our 3 C's series.
