I joined the Window Nation family over 5 years ago as a part-time show and events team member after taking time off from the workforce to raise my 3 sons with my husband Dan. Starting back to work part-time was only temporary as the culture and opportunities presented a desire to get my career back on track. With a 20-year background in retail management, my passion for assisting customers and taking pride in a job well done was a no brainer to grow with Window Nation. I have spent time in several roles in the organization as I worked my way up gaining the trust and respect of our customers and colleagues.

In the position of Regional Operations Director (East) I will bring my high energy and enthusiasm to carry out Window Nations core values through our dedication to excellence in all we do every day. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and working on projects throughout my home.

Born & raised in a small town in Indiana, I have been blessed to have traveled and lived all over the world. Nearly a decade ago, I found myself entering the home improvement industry and was immediately hooked. Having worked in many facets of both interior and exterior renovations, to be able to create a tangible product at the end of a day that can transform a homeowner’s world is a wonderful thing to be a part of.
As a single parent to three amazing kids, I strive every day to be the best example of how a little humor, perseverance, hard work, and dedication bring success in many forms. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, being active with my children’s schools, exploring the local communities, and traveling whenever possible.

“Don’t take yourself too seriously; you’ll never get out alive.”

Born & raised in Cleveland, I grew up in the horse racing world which is why I love horses so much.  At the age of 19, I had the opportunity to obtain a position with a storm window/storm door company – the beginning of an amazing 30 year career in the home improvement industry!  I started as a receptionist and with hard work, was eventually promoted to the Director of Installation.

I have been married for 26 years to Brian and I am blessed to be the Mom of three beautiful children: Brian, Katie & Kristine. My favorite time is spent with family, however, for all that know me well, I am probably one of the biggest Cleveland Browns fans ever. I love my football regardless of if it’s NFL or NCAA football. I also look forward to the Triple Crown every year.
