Our Philosophy

We work hard because we are passionate about what we do but recognize that it is continuous improvement and deliverable service which matter. While we may be casual in our interactions with each other, we are focused and serious about the operations of our business. We believe in working hard and putting in the extra effort to get things done, to always deliver superior products to the marketplace – and recognize that it’s the ‘getting things done’ part that ultimately means more than the path to getting there.

We believe in operational excellence and realize that there is always room for improvement in everything we do. This means that our work is never done. To stay relevant in an always-changing market we need to continuously evaluate and make incremental improvements to our operations, always striving to make Gold Creek more efficient and always trying to figure out how to do something better. We measure and value those outcomes.

We must never lose our sense of urgency and we will never settle for “good enough.” We set and exceed our own high standards, constantly raising the bar for ourselves. We value a good day’s work, but we value even more a great, tangible outcome, and the fulfillment it brings to our lives.
