JUSTIN RUIZ
Justin was born and raised in beautiful Monmouth County, NJ, home of the Metallix Headquarters. He attended Stockton University where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in business studies.
Justin is an accomplished lacrosse goalie who was recruited to play at the university, where he was a 4-year starter. Additionally, Justin is continuing his studies in pursuit of a Master’s degree.
Outside of work, Justin continues to follow his passion for lacrosse by coaching youth travel teams. He also helps run his family’s bee farm. Ask Justin for a sample of his family’s delicious honey! Justin is also heavily involved with mentoring children and raising funds for a variety of children’s organizations.
BRAEDEN HALE
Braeden hails (pun intended) from the first state of our union, Delaware. He spent years as a lifeguard and in the food service management industry in his home state.
Braeden came to work at Metallix a few years back as an operator in our Wet Chemistry Department where he received hands-on experience in our processes before transitioning to our Buyer team.
On the home front, Braeden is newly engaged to Rachel and together are most proud to have welcomed their beautiful bouncing baby boy, Felix earlier this year. Braeden is a “weekend warrior” golfer ( who won’t disclose his handicap) and fan of Rachael’s homemade southern cooking. As often as he can, Braeden loves to venture back home to Delaware where he can be found strolling on the beach and boardwalk with his growing family.
