Joseph Sluka

Having spent a substantial amount of time working in the food industry, I bring an ability to grasp new concepts quickly and adapt to fast-paced environments while maintaining a positive attitude. These skills will allow me to quickly become proficient at the Woodstock Athletic Club, especially given that I already have a membership at the club and am familiar with the equipment and layout. Prior to working with the Brownsville Butcher and Pantry, I worked on a local farm, operating farm machinery, delivering products to local stores, etc. I never shy away from hard work, and I can be trusted to fully accomplish tasks without frequent oversight.

Participating in volunteer work and community service through both Change the World Kids and Trees and Seeds, I have spent countless hours doing all sorts of activities including planting trees, stacking fire wood, and organizing community dinners. This work reflects a commitment to my community and my skills in personal interactions.

I am a high level athlete, having Nordic skied for the local high schools' team resulting in two State Championship victories. I am currently on the Ford Sayre club, training in preparation for the upcoming race season before joining Middlebury's varsity ski team in the 2026-27 season. Being a committed athlete means that I am knowledgeable in areas including sports nutrition, winter athletics, and strength training.

When not catering or Nordic skiing, I spend my time pursuing the arts, from playing the guitar to painting.
