Before Jeff joined RNDC in 2004, he served in the U.S. Army Reserve for eight years. Jeff was inspired by his family members who had served, dating all the way back to his grandfather’s service during World War II. His father and uncle were also in the Army for 30 years. On his mother’s side, his aunt and uncle also served in the Air Force for 20 years.

Jeff did not stop following in his family’s footsteps after his military service. In 2004, he joined RNDC, following his brother’s example. His brother was working in Jessup, MD and has now been with RNDC for more than 20 years.

In addition to our veteran and active duty associates, RNDC celebrates military spouses' contributions to keeping America safe. They are the heroes at home who are vital to the strength of our nation and serve our country just as their loved ones do.

"I am truly blessed to work for a company that has been so supportive. I have been able to transfer with RNDC multiple times as a military spouse." -Annmarie Burmeister, RNDC Sales Representative

"I have learned that service in the Armed Forces doesn’t always end when your tour ends. 'Thank you for your service' may seem like a small thing to say, but it means so much for them to hear that their sacrifices are noticed and appreciated." -Donna Vasko, RNDC Administrative Assistant

Kenneth Lee Hennig followed in his father’s footsteps twice. His father, Kenneth Gene Hennig, is a veteran and served in the U.S. Air Force. He was also an RNDC associate. When Kenneth Lee left the military in 2011, it wasn’t long before he found himself at RNDC as a driver in our Houston market.

While enlisted, Kenneth served stateside at Ft. Sill in Oklahoma and in Hawaii at Schofield Barracks and Ft. Shafter. He was also deployed for a year two separate times and held multiple positions during his enlistment. Two of these included Military Working Dog Handler (Narcotics) and Specialized Dog Search Handler (Explosives). While in Iraq, he went to border entry points and conducted routine searches for explosives.

At RNDC relationships matter, and we genuinely care about the well-being of our associates, especially in times of need. In 2005, we established the RNDC Relief Fund to provide financial assistance to associates who had suffered great personal losses due to natural disasters.

Each year, many of our associates participate in an internal donation campaign to raise money for the fund, with all donations being matched by RNDC. In true generosity of spirit, the Relief Fund Donation Campaign raised a total of $1.5 million for current and future relief efforts. Your generous support of the RNDC Relief Fund is truly appreciated. You have made a positive and lasting difference to our RNDC family.

The continued success of RNDC is dependent upon the trust of our suppliers, customers and community. RNDC is dedicated to preserving that trust. As a socially responsible beverage alcohol distributor, we take the responsible use of alcohol very seriously and expect our associates to act in a way that will merit the continued trust and confidence of those we serve.

To help in this effort and in the spirit of our core value of accountability, RNDC provides Alcohol Awareness training to educate and inform our associates of the expectations and policies regarding the consumption of alcohol. This required annual event helps our associates make educated, ethical decisions.

On Friday, Feb. 2, RNDC associates helped fight heart disease in women by wearing red and raising money for the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women campaign. In true generosity of spirit, we raised over $33,000!

Thank you to ALL our associates for upholding our core value of family by caring about the well-bring of our families, our communities and one another. Your collective efforts made this year's Go Red for Women event a success!
