Employee Spotlight

Rick O'Neill

By: Lodge Cast Iron / November 10, 2015

This week, in honor of Veterans Day, we're celebrating a few of our hard-working veterans at Lodge Manufacturing.

In 1983, Rick O'Neill joined the US Coast Guard, going to school to be a Yeoman. He spent 4 years in the Coast Guard as a Yeoman Third Class doing clerical work for search and rescue. Rick now works in the Lodge foundry as a supervisor in our packing and finishing department, where he’s been for over two years.

Thanks for your service, Rick, and for all your hard work at Lodge!
