Post by Whole Foods Market

"My dad started in the Bakery department here at Whole Foods Market just under 20 years ago. I always loved that he worked at Whole Foods — when I was younger, I even set up a lemonade stand in front of his store! My dad is now on the Marketing Business Operations team, where he was recently named a Store Support All-Star and nominated to attend the Amazon Leadership Academy for his dedication and hard work.​ ​ I take great pride in telling people I get to work with my dad — and it makes my day when I see their reaction to learning who he is. I started in my role fresh out of college with no corporate experience, so I had a lot of nerves coming into this new position. It was comforting to know that no matter how silly I thought a question was, I could always go to my dad with anything. I love having him witness firsthand all that I've learned and accomplished, and I love getting to witness his work be appreciated by our Team Members.​ ​ My dad is patient, thoughtful and intelligent. I am so fortunate to have such a perfect example of how to be a good human. ​ ​ Thank you for giving me the life that I have — I am forever in debt to you. You are loved and admired more than you'll ever know, dad!"​ ​ — Thea Huff, Event Production Specialist, on her dad, Gregg Huff, Business Operations Manager
