When you walk into Town Hall, you’re greeted by a space that’s sparkling clean and full of positive energy — and much of that is thanks to Juan Sanchez. For the past five years, Juan has been a proud member of Team Southlake, serving as our facilities technician and ensuring that every corner of the building shines while spreading kindness to everyone he meets.

His day begins outside, carefully checking and cleaning the building’s exterior to ensure everything is ready for visitors. Inside, he maintains spotless restrooms, restocks supplies, buffs the lobby floors, and cleans high-touch areas like handrails multiple times a day.

“I’m passionate about keeping the lobby floor polished and gleaming,” Juan shared. “I also enjoy helping visitors find their destination in the building.”

Juan’s exceptional work ethic and infectious positivity hasn’t gone unnoticed. He was recently honored with the Spirit of Southlake Award, which recognizes individuals who exemplify the core values of Team Southlake: integrity, innovation, accountability, commitment to excellence, and teamwork.

From his attention to detail to his cheerful demeanor, Juan Sanchez is a shining example of how one person can make a big difference. Next time you’re in City Hall, be sure to say hello—he’ll turn any day into a Happy Friday!
