                                        By Kim Bogucki, Logistics
                                        Administration

                                        Allen Giacoma has been with
                                        GOJO for 9 years working in
                                        Production Maintenance. About
                                        working at GOJO, Allen said,
      Pictured above: Front, left to    “There are some really amazing
      right – Isabelle, Charlotte,      people at GOJO, and being on
      Alexandria. Back,  left to right -   different teams has allowed me
      Cody (Future son-in-law) and      to meet some of them. Thank
      Allen                             you.”  In fact, one of his favorite
                                        memories at GOJO was working with the
                                        annual Employee Appreciation Luncheon
                                        Team.

                                        Allen is a team player, and he brings his
                                        motivation, friendly disposition, and work
                                        ethic to every task he performs. It’s no
                                        surprise that his favorite thing to say is,    Pictured above: Allen’s feature
      Pictured above, left to right:    “Make it happen.” Allen says he looks       photos from the 2014 October/
      Yoshi and Lucy loving life        up to Stephen Hawking, and loves two        November issue of Café Racer
                                        of his quotes: “Life would be tragic if it
                                        weren’t funny” and “Quiet people have the loudest minds.”
                                        Allen is from Santa Barbara, CA, and, as many Californians do, he
                                        enjoys the sun and surf. He loves hanging out playing board games
                                        with his wife Charlotte and his daughters Isabelle (age 23) and
                                        Alexandria (age 21). Allen says his daughters are the loves of his life,
                                        and he is very proud of all that they have accomplished already.
                                        Isabelle is attending Kent State University where she is studying
                                        Mechanical Engineering, and Alexandria is attending Walsh University
      Pictured above: The “before”      where she is working towards a degree in Communications. Allen’s
      picture of the  Zombie            family also consists of two rescue dogs (Yoshi, a Pit mix and Lucy, a
      Apocalypse Scooter                Terrier mix), one rescue cat (Mr. Tacos), and an iguana named
                                        Gandolf.

                                        Allen loves the outdoors and enjoys fishing, golfing, exploring Ohio,
                                        watching live bands, and going on brew tours. His favorite music is
                                        “good old rock and roll,” and his favorite food is a street taco.

                                        In his spare time, Allen’s true passion comes out. You’ll find him
                                        working on motorcycles or going to motorcycle events/shows. Pictured
                                        to the left are the before and after pictures of his latest project, turning
                                        the regular scooter into the “Zombie Apocalypse Scooter.”

                                        Fun Fact! Allen was featured in the 2014 October/November issue of
                                        Café Racer. Pictures can be seen above!

      Apocalypse Scooter                Tennessee and the other near a beach where it never snows.
