Shaun
Bland is Employee of the Year
Dear Medina County Residents,
It is my great pleasure to announce
that Shaun Bland was selected as the Employee of the Year
at the Medina County Auditor's Office. Shaun
started working with my office in the Weights and
Measures Department in the summers of 1998 and 1999 while
he was in high school. After graduating from
Buckeye High School in 1999, he went to The
Pennsylvania Institute of Culinary Arts and became a chef
upon graduation. Cooking is still his passion--and
we sometimes benefit from that with a tasty treat in the
office!
In October 2005 after the retirement
of Willard "Otch" Houston , our Inspector of
Weights and Measures, I interviewed Shaun for Otch's
position. It was a natural fit since Shaun had
trained under him and had a great foundation. He
stepped into the position with enthusiasm and commitment
and has grown continuously in the role. Shaun is
now an Inspector after completing extensive course
training in the field of Weights and Measures with the
State of Ohio.
We are very proud of him and his
work. He is organized, efficient and believes in
"working smart." His demeanor with
customers and complainants is always pleasant, helpful
and unfailingly polite. He received the most
nominations from my staff for Employee of the Year that
anyone has ever received!
Shaun and Amber Buckner have a
seven-year-old son, Shane, who is a terrific little boy
with his father's love for video games and paintball!
My hat goes off to Shaun Bland, our
2009 Employee of the Year.
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Michael E. Kovack
Medina County Auditor
Proudly Serving Medina County
