“I love doing something different and meeting new People every single day.”

Myke Puente, Facilities Maintenance Technician

As part of the Corporate Facilities Team, Myke helps maintain over a million square feet at our Dallas Headquarters. His Servant’s Heart is evident every day as he works to improve the spaces where our Employees work. From mentoring Interns to assisting those in need, he is there with a warm smile, a helping hand, and a camera to capture memorable moments. He also shows his Fun-LUVing Attitude by participating in the Corporate Challenge, a competition between North Texas businesses that benefits Special Olympics. Myke is a true Star of the Southwest Family. Favorite Hobby: “Photography! I love taking candid pictures of Employees so they can be recognized for participating in Southwest events.” Giving Back: “For the last 16 years, I’ve volunteered at the Wildflower! Arts and Music Festival, put on by the city of Richardson each May.” Behind the Scenes: “We’re wrapping up a multi-year renovation project at Headquarters, and I’ve been able to repurpose office equipment like binders and dry erase boards to give to local schools.”
