Enrique Celebrates 20 Years at Dillanos
Help People. Make Friends. Have Fun.
When Enrique Goldstrom walks through the doors at Dillanos, there’s no mistaking the impact he’s made on the team, on the culture, and on the heart of what we do.
Enrique originally joined Dillanos as the Shipping & Delivery Manager before we merged with Atomic Distributing. Today, he serves as our Delivery Supervisor. For Enrique, it’s never just been about getting the job done; it’s about helping people, making friends, and having fun.
When asked which resonates most with him, Enrique didn’t choose one core value, he chose our mission statement:
Help People. Make Friends. Have Fun.
“…he’s the kind of person who greets the world with a smile and shows up for the people around him. He’s more than a friend; he’s family. Our kids have grown up together, and we’ve shared so many moments through the years.”
– Amber Amantea
A Culture of Family & Friendship
His philosophy is simple but powerful: “if we are family, we treat our customers as extended family”. That same sense of family has gone into his life beyond the warehouse. He has become an “uncle” to many of his coworkers’ kids and has formed lifelong friends.
“One of my dearest and closest friends here made it to almost all my oldest son’s Varsity football games as well as was there to see my youngest son and I win a league Championship in youth football. Our families also share family dinners and date nights on a regular basis. SHOUT OUT CHRIS PORTERFIELD!”
One of Enrique’s most treasured memories at Dillanos is a moment that speaks to his character. When David personally asked Enrique to mentor and train his son Dillon. That mentorship grew into a friendship that he cherishes deeply.
“He’s truly one of my best friends and little brothers… and now, full circle, I look up to him too.”
Coffee Recommendation
Enrique’s daily drinker is Howie’s Blend, both for the flavor and because it’s a tribute to Howard Heyer.
His all-time favorite brew? Macia’s, that was as he says, “the best coffee I ever had”.
What’s Next for Enrique?
Enrique plans to use his gifted PTO to take a well-deserved trip with his family, visiting his wife’s loved ones in Michigan and taking his son Graysen to the NFL Hall of Fame in Ohio.
“The absolute love from the top with Howie, Chris, & David all the way to my everyday co-workers across this whole building. There is truly something different about working here. The care in which everyone treats one another, and their families also is something I will never take for granted!”
Enrique shows us what being all-in truly looks like. His leadership, inclusivity, and energetic (and hilarious) personality have helped shape this place into what it is.
Happy 20 Years!
