At Porter Logistics we are proud of the team members who work hard every day.
Porter Logistics’ General Manager Mark Grant is a critical leader of our team. Mark has 25 years of Logistic experience where he worked for large companies like Home Depot and Lowes. He also has a unique background working in construction logistics, where he had to deal with the intricacies of coordinating materials such as rail and cement. Through these experiences, Mark has a comprehensive understanding of the logistical challenges inherent to high-volume fulfillment as well as large, bulky commodities which has been crucial to Porter Logistics’ growth. He is truly a Swiss Army knife in terms of his ability to manage diverse client types.
As a leader, Mark’s main goal is to create an environment where everyone’s skills are nurtured to allow them to grow and excel. He is always seeking ways to help develop and empower his team to excel in their roles. Mark is a key in developing the team environment at Porter Logistics which is his favorite part of working at Porter Logistics.
“We have a supportive and collaborative group of colleagues who make every day enjoyable.”
When Mark isn’t working he is enjoying his four kids and bringing family and friends together with some good food. Mark is a master in the kitchen and on the grill. He loves to bring new recipes and ideas together in order to bring people together. Mark not only loves watching but also playing basketball and football. He is an avid sports fan so you will find him cheering for Florida State Seminoles, Miami Dolphins, Miami Hurricanes, and the Miami Heat.
Thank you Mark for all that you do for Porter Logistics!
We’re excited to highlight another manager we appreciate at Porter Logistics. Melissa Russell, our Customer Service Executive, is a true expert in her field. She works tirelessly with our exceptional Customer Service Representative team to ensure our clients receive the best possible experience.
With over 25 years in the logistics industry, Melissa has worn many hats—from quality control and shipping/receiving to dispatching, supervising, and serving as a Customer Service Representative. Now, as Porter Logistics’ Customer Service Executive, her driving goal is to motivate and mentor her employees to achieve excellence. This dedication to leadership is one of the many reasons we value Melissa at Porter Logistics.
Outside of work, Melissa cherishes time with her husband and family, who are her greatest inspiration. You’ll often find her cheering for Alabama (Roll Tide!) or one of her favorite NFL teams: the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, or Pittsburgh Steelers. If stranded on a deserted island, Melissa’s priorities shine through—she’d bring her husband, some good books, and clothes. We love her sense of what’s truly important!
Thank you, Melissa, for your unwavering dedication to Porter Logistics.
