Adrienne

Adrienne has been a part of The Stow Company marketing team since 2010. Adrienne was born and raised in Central Michigan, then moved to the West side of the state to attend school at Grand Valley State University in which she graduated with a degree in Advertising and Public Relations. Her interests include exploring and eating her way through new cities, as well as spending time with family and friends. She is a social media lover that would like to be remembered for her great eating capabilities (especially carbohydrates) and sense of humor. Adrienne’s greatest organizational challenge is finding an efficient way to store her “too many pairs of shoes.”

Lisa has been happily married to her soul mate for almost 10 years, and together they are raising their amazingly beautiful and very strong willed daughter. Lisa was born and raised on a small dairy farm in Mason, Michigan. She is very proud of where she came from and feels privileged to be a true farm girl. She now lives less than a five minute walk from the shores of Lake Michigan. Her perfect day would be spent on the beach and she feels incredibly lucky to be so close to one of her favorite things. As a trained classical ballerina, she used to dream of a career traveling the world as a professional dancer. She still dances, but not professionally. Today she considers herself a professional mom, wife, closet designer/installer, and all around closet expert. After almost seven years of working for the ORG team, she can answer more questions about closets and organization than she ever thought possible. She openly admits that she doesn’t mind a little clutter in her own life, but loves the end result of a good organizational project. Her greatest organizational strength includes planning parties of all sizes and packing for long camping trips.

Mike has been part of The Stow Company marketing team since 2005. He grew up along the shores of Grand Traverse Bay in Northern Michigan and graduated with a marketing degree from Calvin College in Grand Rapids. Now settled in West Michigan, Mike and his wife are new parents and enjoying all the blessings and challenges that come with homeownership and a raising a young child. Outside of work, Mike enjoys spending time with his wife and friends, being involved at his church, exploring new and emerging technologies, and playing golf and hockey. Mike's greatest organizational strength is his ability to keep control over his e-mail inbox.

With 13 years experience marketing products that create cleaner and more attractive spaces, Angela believes a stress-free life can be achieved with good planning and good Chi. She manages to find a healthy balance between her career, marriage, children, and all of their school and extra curricular activities while maintaining an organized home and life. Along with her husband, they are on a quest to be better environmental stewards and are teaching their children about the importance of living sustainably and responsibly. She is an avid reader of home magazines, enjoys watching HGTV and DIY network (thank goodness for TIVO), spending time with family and friends, and participating in outdoor activities such as hiking, golfing, biking, swimming, and fishing (as long as someone else baits the hook). Her greatest organizational challenge is keeping the paper clutter that consists of piles of schoolwork and incoming mail under control, while also having the strength to part with (and recycle, of course) the ever-growing stacks of magazines.

With over 25 years of experience designing furniture and environments, Jon is the design manager at The Stow Company. He believes that a well designed space can strongly influence the interaction within. His interests include travel by canoe, dark warm coffee, quick cold water trout, old Volkswagens, cameras and times in the northern woods. His greatest accomplishments are his two children. “When I see them walking through the house singing a song to themselves, I feel like my wife and I are doing something right,” he says. His greatest organizational challenge is to create an environment that enables his kids to be creative and free without trashing the place.

Beth is a recovering Paper Pile Addict who now lives by the mantra “Read, Heed, and Weed” when confronted by the reams of paper products she confronts on a daily basis. When not wrangling the printed word, she enjoys a career as a Dealer Consultant for ORG. Here, she acts as a business resource for dealer accounts, while also searching for new dealer partners. Her third and favorite title is “Big Momma”, the affectionate name christened her by her two kids, ages 13 and 11. When not operating in one of these three roles, she can be found exercising her arts background by singing with a local chorale and writing her personal blog.

Rick enjoys playing sports (especially golf), landscaping, local politics, and spending as much time with family and friends as possible. He is easily irritated by people who drive under the speed limit in the passing lane on the highway. He loves 80’s music & all types of food, ranging from Mexican to Polish and everything in between. Rick finds his organizational strength in organizing his garage; he claims to actually enjoy it—that’s something that not many people can say.
