Our local staff in Palomas continues to amaze everyone who meets them and exceed expectations for the good work they accomplish every day. We wish all of you who support Border Partners could meet them all. We hope to do the next best thing by introducing them here. Today, you can learn about one of our newer staff members.
Jesus Marquez is one of our newest staff members.
Jesus Marquez
Jesus Marquez is the latest addition to our gardening team. He started with us about three months ago when he joined our established gardening staff. They now work in our community gardens across the town of Puerto Palomas, operating in several greenhouses. The fresh produce they grow provides healthy food to local schools, aging seniors, and other community members.
Jesus has lived in Palomas for the past four years. Before he lived here he originally lived in an agricultural town in the state of Chihuahua, located four hours south of Puerto Palomas. After he moved to Palomas, he got married. Then, he worked as a mechanic before starting work with Border Partners. Jesus has a son who lives in Texas.
In his free time Jesus still enjoys working with cars as well as spending time with family members.
Bringing us a variety of skills, Jesus accomplishes a range of items in his role with Border Partners. In addition to gardening, Jesus sometimes tackles construction projects. He can work in the schools, too. But, he’s quick to say that his favorite part of the job is tending to the vegetables in our greenhouses.
