Let’s hear it for our July Employee of the Month—Steve Browning! Steve is our Director of Warehouse Operations and will be celebrating four years with Team Standley this September.
As Director of Warehouse Operations, Steve leads the charge across multiple locations—including Chickasha, Tulsa, and North Texas—making sure everything runs like a well-oiled machine. From inventory and procurement to logistics and implementation, Steve is behind-the-scenes aligning strategy with sales, all while keeping customer satisfaction front and center. If you’ve ever received an order from us quickly and accurately, chances are Steve had a hand in it.
When asked about his favorite part of the job, Steve keeps it real: it’s the appreciation. “It’s all the little things that add up to an enjoyable day, week, and month,” he says. He also values the flexibility to enjoy his kids’ activities—because being a warehouse rockstar and a family guy is no easy feat.
Speaking of family, Steve has been married to his wife, Amber, for 27 years. Together they’ve raised two amazing kids: Addison, a 21-year-old senior at Oklahoma State University studying medicine with plans to attend medical school after graduation (future M.D. in the making!), and Carson, a 17-year-old senior at Norman North High School with a serious passion for golf and business. Carson has his sights set on playing collegiate golf while pursuing a business degree—and yes, he gets his golf obsession from Dad.
Also part of the Browning bunch? Beau—their lovable therapy dog and unofficial mascot. Beau joins Steve for library visits where he patiently listens as kids read him stories (and, let’s be honest, soak him in cuddles and attention).
When he's off the clock, Steve’s probably somewhere outdoors—traveling, golfing, or hunting. Both Addison and Carson are regulars on family hunting trips, though Carson is the only one brave enough to take Dad on the golf course.
Steve also volunteers with the Norman North Golf Booster Club and supports youth events at their home course—because giving back is just part of who he is.
Congratulations, Steve! Your leadership, dedication, and down-to-earth attitude make a big impact every day. We appreciate you!
