Veterans Day Tribute: Honoring Will Fluitt, Marine Corps Veteran and HOLT Industrial Rentals Regional Sales Consultant

SAN ANTONIO, TX — Nov. 5, 2024 — This Veterans Day, we are proud to highlight one of our own: Will Fluitt, a Regional Sales Consultant with HOLT Industrial Rentals, whose service in the Marine Corps continues to shape his personal and professional life. Will's story exemplifies dedication, leadership, and resilience both on and off the battlefield.

Inspired by a close friend and mentor who served in the Marine Corps, Will enlisted in 2008 to fight for his country. He served for five years, including a deployment to Afghanistan in 2011 as part of the infantry. During his time in service, Will received several honors, including the prestigious Purple Heart for wounds sustained in combat and the Navy & Marine Corps Achievement Medal with Combat “V” for acts of valor.

Reflecting on his time in the military, Will shares, “Serving with people from all over the U.S. and the world gave me an open mind and a deep respect for all cultures. My experience in the Marines taught me a lot about leadership and the importance of leading by example, lessons I carry with me to this day.”

At HOLT Industrial Rentals, Will thrives in a role that keeps him on the move, meeting new people and building lasting relationships. “I love that my office is my truck,” he says. “Being on the road every day is a new adventure, and I enjoy getting to connect with people from all walks of life.”

The leadership skills he developed in the Marines directly benefit his work at HOLT, where he continues to build trust, foster collaboration, and demonstrate respect for every person he meets.

When Will isn’t working, his life revolves around family and fitness. He and his wife, high school sweethearts married for 16 years, are proud parents of three children: 14-year-old twins and a 12-year-old daughter. “My kids keep me busy with all their sports, but I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Will says with a smile. His idea of a perfect weekend? “Spending time at the lake with my family, wake surfing, and sleeping under the stars.” For Will, these moments of joy and connection are what life is all about.

This Veterans Day, we recognize and thank Will Fluitt not only for his military service but also for the values he brings to HOLT Industrial Rentals. His story reminds us that the skills learned in the military—leadership, perseverance, and respect—translate seamlessly into every aspect of life. Thank you, Will, for your service, your leadership, and your commitment to excellence.

Veterans Day Spotlight: Honoring Jonathan Carbonaro’s Journey from the U.S. Air Force to HOLT Industrial Rentals

SAN ANTONIO, TX — Nov. 5, 2024 — This Veterans Day, we are proud to spotlight Jonathan Carbonaro, a valued member of the HOLT Industrial Rentals (HIR) team. Jonathan's dedication to service – both during his military career and now with HIR – exemplifies the values of perseverance, teamwork, and problem-solving.

Jonathan joined the U.S. Air Force in July 2010, inspired by a need for adventure and direction after his freshman year of college. “The military offered the best chance to see the world and do things I might not have otherwise had the opportunity to do.” He served in the Air Force for seven and a half years, with five years spent in Security Forces and two and a half years as a Combat Arms Instructor. His military experience sharpened his teamwork and leadership skills, which now play a critical role in his position at HIR.

Jonathan credits his time in the Air Force for instilling the discipline and attention to detail needed to excel in his role as Retail Coordinator. “The ability to work in a small team environment to accomplish any task has been key,” he says. “Every day brings a new challenge, and I enjoy finding dynamic solutions that support our customers." Whether it’s coordinating trucks, managing contracts, or ensuring equipment is delivered on time, Jonathan takes pride in knowing he’s making a difference. “At the end of the day, we get to go home knowing we accomplished something and provided real solutions for our customers.

When Jonathan isn't at work, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing music, or winding down with video games. One of his favorite pastimes is going to the range, and his perfect weekend reflects his passions: “I’d take my son to the range, play some music, and watch our dogs try to herd the kids in the backyard,” he says with a laugh. He and his wife, Kaley, have been married for nine years. Kaley is also part of the HOLT family, working at Pro Tec for the past 13 years. Together, they have two children – 7-year-old Jon and 3-year-old Madelyn – as well as two dogs: an Australian Shepherd and a Border Collie.

On this Veterans Day, we honor Jonathan Carbonaro for his military service and for his continued commitment to excellence at HOLT Industrial Rentals. Thank you, Jonathan, for your service to our country and for everything you do for our team and customers.
