Jonathan Hendley and Lori Prieto, HOLT employees and engaged couple, will celebrate Valentine’s Day their way – relaxing at home and preparing for their upcoming wedding.
They plan to stay home, cook dinner together, and enjoy each other’s company, especially on this occasion.
Having graduated from St. Phillip’s College as an A.A.S Construction Heavy Equipment, Jonathan started his journey with HOLT CAT as an intern in 2018. Since then, he advanced his career in the company and is now a Technical Service Technician 4. As a natural problem solver, troubleshooting is his favorite part of the job. It gives him great satisfaction when he can solve a problem. He enjoys the camaraderie of his team and the tight-knit relationship and communication within his department.
Lori’s first day as an intern in the marketing department was in 2021. Her studies in marketing helped her grow professionally and she now holds the title of Marketing Specialist. As a member of the marketing team, she’s learned there is never a dull moment, given the fast-paced nature of her work. Her proudest achievement was receiving a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Texas A&M University-San Antonio. She enjoys working at HOLT events and tradeshows but the best part of working at HOLT is the people, everyone is always willing to lend a hand.
Lori and Jonathan have one thing in common: their love for each other! Yes, they are high school sweethearts and began dating in 2017!
Fast forward to 2022, when Jonathan invited Lori to his farm in Albany, TX, where they enjoyed listening to country music and doing some fishing together. During the trip, Jonathan asked her to reel in a “fish.” Lori did, and suddenly, she realized a small box was attached to the end of the lure. When she turned around, Jonathan was already on one knee with a ring in his hand!
Lori and Jonathan are ready to exchange vows on the same farm where she said “yes” in October of this year.
Congratulations to this lovely HOLT couple, and happy Valentine’s Day!
