Albert Guzman was born with an eye condition that caused him to lose his peripheral vision and his ability to see color. However, his life is anything but monochromatic.
Albert has a refreshingly positive outlook on life and always tries his best to help others.
“I like to make people laugh,” Albert said. “If I see anyone having issues, I try my best to be a friend.”
His positive attitude earned him the 2019 Spirit Award at the San Antonio Lighthouse.
“That was a big deal for me,” Albert said.
He joined the San Antonio Lighthouse five years ago and has since become a versatile machine operator with experience working in many departments.
“I’ve met a lot of wonderful people here who helped me mature,” Albert said. “They showed me how to have good work ethic and I learned how to communicate better with people.”
Albert takes the initiative to learn new operations and has even mastered machines that were previously run by sighted employees. At one point, he worked as a Quality Assurance Inspector, but eventually made his way back to the production side. Albert has served as a key machine operator for many projects, including the current CTAPS Arctic Trouser Project.
"Albert is an excellent representative of the San Antonio Lighthouse’s mission and culture," said Senior Manager of Supply Chain Robin Catalan.
