👋Meet Kenneth Creed, AFE’s Staffing Manager and our go-to people person since 2022! 🎭He describes his role as exciting, entertaining, and demanding—and he wouldn’t have it any other way. 🔥His favorite bite from the AFE kitchen? Firecracker Chicken Strips—bold and just a little spicy (kind of like Kenneth). ✈️When he’s off the clock, you’ll likely find him traveling—anywhere and everywhere is fair game. ✨One word to describe him? Candid.

Camp vibes and sunshine smiles 🌞⛺️We had the best time bringing Family Fun Day to life for Ambassadors for @texaschildrens, at the @houstonarboretum! From pony rides and games to colorful flags, butterflies, and all the AFE favorite bites—this camp-inspired day was so special. We love being part of this meaningful event year after year.
