About
Account service, creative sales and printing are my passions. My experience is varied, having managed accounts for healthcare companies, software companies, manufacturing firms, banks, not-for-profits and more. I Love good creative! I enjoy creating programs that help my customers exceed their marketing goals. With the technology available today it is fun to create programs that are measured throughout the process and show immediate results.My goal is to help my customer maintain and grow business and to have fun along the way.
When I am not doing the "LJS thing", I am at the gym enjoying a spinning class (yes!! I Love it.), working-out, bike riding or running around town with my son.
