Even though life may present challenges, HOLT Group consistently remains focused on the most valuable asset...PEOPLE. Embrace all that lies ahead and use your strengths to accomplish personal goals.”
For Ricky, this focus on people has been central to his success. The family culture here has not only shaped his career but also built lasting connections. “The family culture creates friendships, love, and forgiveness as I learned the business and my part in it,” he shared. In his leadership role, leaning on HOLT’s core values has helped him establish trust and open communication with his team. He admits that mistakes can happen but values the unwavering support to correct them and move forward.
When reflecting on his career, Ricky highlights the relationships, experiences, and opportunities he’s had: “The people I’ve met, the places I’ve been, and the things I’ve seen” have been the most rewarding parts of his journey.
Ricky’s path to HOLT CAT began as a customer and end user of CAT diesel power. When he transitioned to working as a technician, he knew he’d found a long-term home. “HOLT CAT gave me the opportunity to change careers and support the product as a technician. At that point, I knew this would be my home.”
