JOEL ORELLANA
VOTED HOUSTON JANUARY EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH!
The Employees of Lone Star Communications Houston have voted Joel Orellana our January 2022 Employee of the Month.
Joel came to Halco in April of 2014 (Halco became part of Lone Star Communications in December of 2015). He previously worked at Direct TV (with Hector Reyes) and came to us from Rooms to Go where he was the office manager. When Joel arrived, he initially worked with Hector Reyes at a hospice project. Then later worked with Rey Chapa.
In 2018 Joel moved from the Walter Tower lead technician to the engineering group under Jamie Selman. He started working with Hector Reyes to learn the estimation craft. Bringing field experience and perspective to this venture was helpful.
Comments from Joel’s coworkers
“Joel is always willing to help out no matter how much is on his plate.”
“Very Reliable and hard worker.”
“Joel has the right attitude.”
“Joel never lets the Sales Team down. He’s always in good spirits and gives his best on every project.”
- Gregory Propps, Technology Consultant
“Having worked with Joel out in the field when he was a technician, I knew he had a great work ethic and was very conscientious. When we had an opening in Engineering for an estimator, he was the first person I thought of. I knew he would bring that same work ethic and eagerness to learn to the Engineering Department. He has not disappointed. Joel has an easy-going personality and always tries to get along with others and be respectful. We all appreciate Joel’s positive and can-do attitude. I am very proud of Joel and the work he continues to do on a daily basis. I am very happy to have him on the team and he is a definite asset to Lone Star Communications. Joel certainly deserves this award.”
- Jamie Selman
THE FUN STUFF
Joel will receive a gift set from behind door #33 in Ron’s office and we will add his name to the plaque in the front lobby alongside the other 2022 Employees of the Month.
Finally, Joel will receive a limited-edition Employee of the Month commemorative custom coin designed by our own Cliff Switzer (images cleaned up by Amy Weisinger).

He goes the extra mile in everything he does, he learned how to use Q360 very quickly and is always looking for more to learn so he can be more productive.
