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.
