Steven Luna, Shipping
If there’s one person at NASVI who knows how to make everything fit, it’s Steven Luna.
Steven has been with NASVI for two and a half years, working at the final stage where valves are packed, protected and sent on their way. He says, “Packing valves can feel a little like a cross between playing Tetris and Minecraft.”
They come in all shapes and sizes, and some orders arrive with special shipping instructions. Steven’s job is to make sure the right valve is packed the right way and protected for the trip.
That routine becomes especially important when a customer needs an in-stock valve shipped the same day. By the time an order gets to Steven, he’s one of the last people standing between that valve and the delivery truck. And with sales checking on orders throughout the day, he also tends to be the guy answering the phone and tracking down where things stand.
Steven came to NASVI with plenty of warehouse and factory experience, plus a résumé line you might not expect. He spent about a decade as a meat cutter and butcher.
That background still comes in handy around Halloween. One of his favorite costumes was a crazed butcher, complete with his old butcher coat.
Halloween is a big deal in the Luna household. Steven and his wife were married on Halloween 28 years ago with a reception decorated for the occasion. They have five children, and haunted-house trips have become part of the family tradition.
Away from NASVI, Steven likes to fish, keep music playing and generally keep life low-key with a little orneriness thrown in.
At work, he describes himself much the same way: serious about getting the job done, but always willing to have a little fun along the way.
