Employee Spotlight: Bob Byerley | Celebrating Over 35 Years of Leadership & Dedication
From the lumber yard to leadership, Bob Byerley's career is a testament to hard work, dedication, and perseverance. When Bob started with PC Home Stores, the company was located in the old skating rink on Fifth Street. He began his journey in the lumber yard at Poe Lumber Company before being hired by David Stemler, our owner, for a sales and management role.
Bob entered the industry in 1990, managing a team of just seven employees. Over the years, he has witnessed tremendous growth and transformation, from paper-based processes to today's modern operations. Through every change, his commitment to the company, its customers, and his team has remained constant.
Some of Bob's favorite memories include participating in two Extreme Makeover: Home Edition projects in Louisville alongside fellow employees. These experiences allowed him to give back to families in need while building lasting relationships with his coworkers.
When asked what he enjoys most about his job, Bob's answer is simple: the people and the challenges. He believes PC is a great place to work because of the trust, teamwork, and opportunity to learn from one another. To Bob, employees and customers alike feel like family.
Outside of work, you'll find him cheering on the Hoosiers, Colts, and St. Louis Cardinals, or spending time outdoors deer hunting and fishing.
His advice for success? "Stick with it.”
And when asked about retirement, his response was just as straightforward: "When it quits being fun.”
Thank you, Bob, for your years of leadership, dedication, and the positive impact you've had on our team, customers, and community.
We're grateful to have you as part of the PC family!
