January 17, 2025

At Bazooka Farmstar, our success is built on the dedication and flexibility of team members like Luke Stein, who was recently honored with the prestigious Bleed Bazooka gamechanger award. This recognition celebrates employees who exemplify our core value: “We work hard and own it. It’s a pride thing.”

As a CNC Machine Operator in the fabrication department, Luke has made an impressive impact during his nearly two-year tenure with the company. His journey at Bazooka Farmstar began through an employee referral, and since then, he has proven to be an invaluable team member who embodies workplace adaptability.

What sets Luke apart is his willingness to step up whenever and wherever needed. His nominators particularly praised his exceptional flexibility in shifting schedules to train new operators and fill crucial gaps, often with minimal notice. Rather than viewing these changes as disruptions, Luke embraced each opportunity with a positive attitude and unwavering commitment to excellence.

“Being adaptable and consistent” are the key behaviors Luke credits for his success. His approach to work reflects a deeper understanding of teamwork: taking on tasks outside his normal duties without complaint and recognizing when situations demand serious dedication. Since joining the company, Luke has cross-trained in four different areas of the fabrication department, demonstrating his eagerness to learn and grow.

When asked about receiving the award, Luke shared that it felt validating to be noticed for his efforts, though he humbly acknowledged many other deserving colleagues. His advice to others aspiring to win the award? “Do things that are asked of you, even if it’s outside normal duties. Don’t be lazy or complain, know when you need to take your work seriously and give it your all.”

Beyond his professional achievements, Luke maintains creative pursuits outside of work, enjoying video game playing and music production with his friends. His commitment to giving back to the community is evident in his choice to direct his award’s charitable donation to Paws & More animal shelter in Washington, supporting his passion for animal welfare.

Luke’s story at Bazooka Farmstar illustrates why the company continues to attract talented individuals. The supportive team environment and abundant opportunities for growth create a workplace where dedicated employees can thrive and develop their skills across multiple areas.

Through his consistent performance, positive attitude, and willingness to adapt, Luke Stein has shown what it truly means to “bleed bazooka”—taking pride in hard work and owning every challenge that comes his way. His recognition inspires current and future team members and demonstrates how embracing flexibility and maintaining a positive attitude can lead to success at Bazooka Farmstar.
