David Hornung Promoted to Grounds Manager
S.C. Swiderski is proud to have incredible individuals on the team and we work hard to constantly develop new leaders. David Hornung was recently promoted to Grounds Manager. Today, he shares his story and experience here at SCS.
“I started my career at S.C. Swiderski about 3 years ago. Upon being honorably discharged from the US Navy, I returned to Central Wisconsin to pursue my bachelor’s degree at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point. During my time there, I started working at S.C. Swiderski as a summer grounds laborer. I spent that summer working with some tremendously knowledgeable co-workers - Jake and Joel Erickson. Working alongside them under the direction of Jon Sawicky, I realized that this group of people was an excellent fit for me, and I could see a successful future alongside them.
After completing my degree, I started working full-time on our grounds team. On top of enjoying the core group around me, I was attracted to the idea of working for a family-owned business. I wanted a career where I could surround myself with motivated people working with an impactful company. Throughout my 3 years here, it has been amazing to witness the growth and progress we have made as a team. In my new role as Grounds Manager, I am incredibly excited to maximize our team’s potential, paired with all the excellent businesses we outsource for our snow and lawncare needs. I will ensure that S.C. Swiderski maintains Wisconsin’s high lawn and snow care standards. “David is a great fit for this position because of his knowledge of the position, his vision and his future plans for the grounds department, and his great work ethic” says Jon Sawicky, Facilities Manager for SCS.
As we continue to build remarkable communities throughout the state of Wisconsin, our landscaping designs will work cohesively with the environment to provide our communities with a beautiful aesthetic. As Grounds Manager, I plan to implement and adhere to new maintenance guidelines on our grounds’ assets. I plan to expand our team with the leadership, tools, and attention to detail that makes S.C. Swiderski an industry leader.”
The Great SCS Food Drive 2022
S.C. Swiderski hosted “The Great SCS Food Drive” in November to support different food pantries throughout the state of Wisconsin. S.C. Swiderski employees and tenants of our apartment homes were encouraged to donate food items or make monetary donations.
This year, a total of 2,097 items were collected throughout all our locations. S.C. Swiderski matched that number making it a total of 4,194 items to be donated to various food pantries throughout the state of Wisconsin. That is almost double what we were able to collect last year! Donations will be handed out by SCS team members across the state.
The Great SCS Food Drive was run by our CAS (Community Action Service) committee. This is a volunteer group made up of SCS employees volunteering their time to make these donations possible. Other events this year that our CAS committee participated in were Ghidorzi Green and Clean, Fill a Backpack Fill a Need, Run for the Fallen 5k, and Adopt a Classroom. On December 3rd our CAS committee will also have a float in the Mosinee Christmas Parade!
Thank you to all our employees and tenants for their donations this year! We are happy to be able to make these donations during the holiday season.
S.C. Swiderski Celebrates Grand Opening of SCS Oshkosh
S.C. Swiderski held our Grand Opening Ceremony for SCS Oshkosh on October 26th. SCS Oshkosh is our first multi-family project in the City of Oshkosh. Present at the ceremony was John Z. and Mark I. from the City of Oshkosh, Rob K. from the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce, Randy B. from Intercity State Bank along with numerous other Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors, community members, and partners on the project.
During the ceremony, Julie Walker, Area Manager for S.C. Swiderski explained the project. “This new community has 2 completely different building styles. As a resident, you will have 8 uniquely designed floor plans and 1 or 2 story living options to choose from! These floor plans have 1-3 bedrooms all featuring private entrances, garage space, and private laundry. In addition to these great options, each apartment home includes a private deck or patio.”
Whether you are downsizing, have a growing family, or just seeking to find your first quality apartment, SCS Oshkosh will fit your needs. Rent bundles high-speed internet, cable tv, heat, water, sewer, and trash removal in just one bill. S.C. Swiderski is proud to bring this multi-generational community to Oshkosh.
To celebrate 30 years of being in the industry, S.C. Swiderski decided to donate $30,000 throughout the state of Wisconsin to local non-profit organizations throughout the entire year. Oshkosh Area Humane Society was selected by S.C. Swiderski employees to receive a $1,000 donation during the Grand Opening Ceremony as part of this celebration. Jessica Miller was present to accept the donation and explained how their organization is experiencing challenges with a high number of animals in their care. She explained how this donation will help cover the medical needs of these animals while they wait for their new homes.
S.C. Swiderski is excited to bring the SCS Difference to the Oshkosh community. We would like to thank everyone who helped make this project a success and we are excited to see the final buildings open over the next few months.
