Kermit has been with Living Essentials for 6 months.  He enjoys working with great team members here at Living Essentials.  He enjoys coming to work in the morning and discussing the successes in our manufacturing facilities.  “Producing a world class product such as 5 Hour Energy brings with it, the opportunities in learning what it means to take command in the market place.” Kermit says, “I learn something new every day.  AS I learn I grow as a person and team member, which in turn enables me to contribute and help our team realize its potential.”

“The community is one of the reasons I enjoy working at 5 Hour Energy.  I had the pleasure of staying at Charley Creek Inn during my relocation, and the nostalgic flair that it has is great.  Walking down the main streets and seeing the store fronts that are thriving and the people of the community supporting them shows the pride everyone has in Wabash.  The exciting shows and celebrities that are brought to the Honeywell Center also shows the level of commitment that the leaders of this community has.”
