Dave Robison, Vice President of Retail Operations

Dave’s most admires the Founding Fathers of the United States.  He said, “I have a tremendous amount of respect, gratitude and admiration for the Founding Fathers. These men had an incredible, radical vision and made tremendous sacrifices to see it through. John Adams, in particular, has always been a hero of mine, and I’m excited to finally see the part of the country he called home.”

Dave enjoys books, music and sports, but his favorite thing to do is go on scenic drives in his 1973 Opel GT. He said the car has “been in the family almost my whole life but was garaged for several years. My dad finally gave it to me a few years ago and I found a great mechanic who helped me get it back on the road. I can’t wait to explore northern New England – it’s absolutely stunning!” 

Rebecca Ermlich, Executive Office Manager

Rebecca doesn’t have a single most admired person. She said, “The world is full of people changing the world for the better in big and small ways every day. It’s a good reminder that we don’t necessarily have to do BIG things to be an inspiration. In our everyday life, we each have the power to inspire and be a force for good.” 

Rebecca enjoys renovating old houses because both her grandparents lived in “quirky, old houses” that she was fascinated by. She said, “It’s hard work and takes time, but it’s very rewarding to know you are taking care of a piece of the past and preserving it for the future. I also love gardening and running with friends.” 

Rebecca’s family loves exploring Maine together. “Many years ago, when my son was a baby, we decided to spend a week on Vinalhaven on the recommendation of a friend. Fifteen years later, we still go back every summer,” she said. “It is a magical place of fairy forests and swimming quarries, fog and granite, seals and lobster boats, rusty trucks and old cottages. It is not fancy; it is heartbreakingly beautiful.” 

Sandra Monfiletto, Senior Vice President of Human Resources

Sandra’s most admired person is Margaret Mead. She said, “Some of my favorite quotes are from anthropologist Margaret Mead: ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.’ & ‘Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.’” 

Sandra enjoys nutrition. She said, “I love to research low carb nutrition and experiment with preparing delicious keto meals.” 

Sandra’s favorite place on earth is Disney World. “The magical world that is created through sight, sound, smell and pixie dust transports me to a space where if you can dream it, you can do it,” she said. 

Sherri Evans, Chief Financial Officer

Sherri’s most admired person is her mom. She said, “My mom is the kindest, most patient and empathetic person I know. I strive to be more like her every day.” 

Sherri enjoys miniatures. She said, “My current project is an abandoned dollhouse built with repurposed materials from our Buy the Pound!” 

Sherri’s favorite place on earth is her home. She said, “there’s no place I’d rather be!” 

Trendy Stanchfield, Senior Vice President of Mission Services

Trendy’s most admired person is her grandmother. She said, “From the day I remember meeting her, she was my inspiration for her kindness to everyone she met, honesty even if you didn’t like the feedback, and unmatched work ethic in every part of her life.”  

Trendy enjoys gardening. “There is something so wonderful about having your hands in the dirt and soaking up Mother Nature’s goodness,” she said.  

Trendy’s favorite place on earth is the coast of Maine because of its “remarkable history, beautiful ruggedness, and stunning scenes even on the worst of days.” 

Tripp Harrison, President and CEO

Tripp’s most admired person is Nelson Mandela. He said, “Nelson Mandela showed the world that even the most seemingly insurmountable obstacles can be overcome with courage and perseverance, similarly to how we help those we serve at Goodwill achieve their dreams.” 

Tripp is a weekend warrior in the kitchen.  He said, “Having attended culinary school and having an early career as a chef, prior to joining Goodwill, I still have that creative culinary itch to make awesome food and share it with those around me. Food brings people together and helps create a connection with one another.” 

Tripp’s favorite place on earth is Koblenz, Germany because he spent a summer there studying wine. “This city is so memorable for many reasons, and I hope to get back to it one day. Mountainside vineyards lining the Mosel and Rhine rivers, lush forests, and four mountain ranges shape the unique backdrop to this 2,000+ year-old city. French joie de vivre and German tradition have produced a truly unique cultural fusion in Koblenz, characterized by cozy wine taverns, delicious cuisine, narrow alleyways, historic architecture, and an authentic, welcoming atmosphere that makes for an incredible experience,” he said.
