Shredding Spotlight: Meet Adil Raad!
At Shred Instead, we believe the people behind the shred are what make the job special. This month, we’re shining the spotlight on Adil Raad, one of our fantastic route drivers who’s been part of the team for 1 year and 9 months. Adil’s passion for secure shredding and helping others shines through in his work every day. Let’s get to know him a little better!
What’s your favorite part about the job?
Adil shares that the best part of his job is seeing customers’ faces light up when they witness the power of an industrial shredder in action for the first time. “The wow look” is priceless! Plus, he enjoys traveling to various areas throughout the DMV—every day is a new adventure.
Fun facts and hobbies outside of work?
When he’s not behind the wheel, Adil has quite the diverse set of interests! A former east coast paintball tournament traveler, he also loves hitting the gym, working on model kits, exploring theme parks, and venturing into national parks. And, of course, he’s always on the lookout for the next great food spot to check out.
A favorite on-the-road memory?
Adil recalls one memorable moment working a community shred event with his coworkers at the NASA Campus in Maryland. Events like these make his job not just a job, but an opportunity to create memories with great people.
Why does secure shredding matter to you?
Adil’s connection to the importance of secure shredding is deeply personal. As a victim of identity theft himself, he understands the risks firsthand. “Through this position, I can help others avoid having their personal information stolen or misused,” he says. It’s a cause that drives him every day and gives extra meaning to the work he does.
We’re so lucky to have Adil on the team, and we can’t wait for you to get to know him better. Thanks, Adil, for all that you do to help protect the personal information of our customers!
