We're kicking off 2025 with an employee spotlight, and there’s no better person to start with than Alex Glasenapp! Alex has been a part of the BluePrint Engines family for 2 years and has set the standard for amazing work ethic. Working in the Block Department, primarily as our painter, Alex touches every block that comes through our facility. He’s always ready to lend a hand and positively impact everyone around him. Alex is a pleasure to work with, and his pride in his work makes the Block Department—and all of BluePrint—a better place. While he may humbly say he’s just doing his job, to us, he’s the definition of a great team member. It’s rare to see someone nominated by nearly every department in the building, but Alex managed to do just that. His positivity and dedication leave a lasting impression on us all. When he’s not at work, Alex has some fascinating hobbies! He takes care of his amphibious animals (including an adorable bearded dragon), enjoys cooking, playing board games, and riding his unicycle—yes, unicycle! He’s also an active member of the Bloodhound Car Club and even plays the banjo. From one wheel to four, Alex truly does it all! Thank you for everything you do, Alex. You’re an incredible asset to BluePrint, and we’re excited to kick off the year with you! #BluePrintEngines #BluePrint #EmployeeAppreciation

His ability to recall crucial details ensures that no challenge goes unresolved. Travis’s versatility in the maintenance field is invaluable. He understands the importance of trust and adaptability within his team, tackling ever-changing priorities with expertise and quick thinking.
