Christine began her career in the kitchen/bath design industry as a builder sales coordinator handling the details for multiple outside sales representatives in 1995; she spent 10 plus years in that position and then transitioned into sales doing her own designs. After 18 years in the kitchen/bath design industry, the recession in the economy took her down a new career path where she quickly realized how much she missed building materials. When the opportunity to work for Architectural Hardware & Supply became available in 2015 she eagerly accepted the challenge and was excited to get back into building materials.

Lori's analytical mindset sparked an interest in the numbers game at a young age when she assisted her father in his business. Her primitive accounting skill set was richly enhanced through formal education and hands on experience in the manufacturing industry. During her time in manufacturing she was also instrumental in corporate acquisitions and Human Resources which included being an employer advocate in Dept. of Labor disputes. She joined our company in 2012 where she quickly settled into the door and hardware industry.
