# Employee Reflection: Denis Valdevit

                DLA Disposition Services Material Examiner and Identifier Denis Valdevit.                            220302-D-D0441-1253                            DLA Disposition Services Material Examiner and Identifier Denis Valdevit.            SHARE IMAGE:Download ImageImage DetailsPhoto By: DLA photoVIRIN: 220302-D-D0441-1253**Tell us about yourself.**

I’m Italian, from the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. I’ve been married since 2014 and I’m a proud father of four children.

**Describe your job.**

As a material examiner and identifier, I oversee all turn-ins from Aviano Air Base and five surrounding bases. I’m also a forklift operator and I assist with the movement of oversize items and help with moving Reutilization, Transfer, Donation and Sales property.

**How long have you worked for the federal government including military service?**

I’ve been working for the federal government for almost 3 years, all with DLA Disposition Services.

**What is your favorite memory with DLA?**

 I recently applied for the vacant position of property disposal technician. Receiving the phone call of the selection is a highlight for me. Being selected is a great opportunity for growth in my career within DLA.

**What aspect(s) of your current job gives you the most personal satisfaction and why? **

Being able to interact with customers and inspecting/receiving their property. Every day is an exciting challenge because I get to gain knowledge of the different squadrons working here at Aviano and learn about their missions.

**What is the best piece of advice someone has given you?**

Work hard and always provide help if needed within your team. It shows that you support your coworkers, and it helps build morale.

**What kind(s) of training and education helps your work performance in your current role?**

I was able to attend the Property Accounting Basics course in Battle Creek, Michigan. Being able to get this training, I was able to understand the bigger scope of DLA Disposition Services and improve my technical skills working in the receiving section.

**Tell us something that most people might not know about you.**

In my spare time, I like to woodwork. I’m also a musical enthusiast, so I work on electric and bass guitars. I specialize in using rare or unique woods when making my instruments. “Sined” is the name of my brand of the guitars I’ve made, which is my name spelled backwards.

**Who’s your biggest influence?**

My grandfather Aldo. He taught me how to appreciate the little things in life. 

**What did you want to be when you grew up?**

Guitarist in a rock band.
