I’ve been with S&L Foods for 28 years.  I love that our business has grown, but we are still small enough to be a family where everyone cares for one another.  One of my customers said it best: “You’re big enough to perform and small enough to care.”

Before coming to S&L in1992, I worked for ten years at Bonanza Meats learning the butcher trade and starting a sales career.  Prior to that, I worked at Quality Meats of Oroville from 1978-1992.

My interests include anything outdoors, especially fishing and boating on our local lakes and rivers.

After 20 years in the foodservice industry, I have recently joined the S&L team.  I began my career in the industry as a chef at the Eureka Inn working my way up to the head chef position.  I also worked as the beverage director for the Delaware North Companies, overseeing operations for their portfolio of Casino’s. After moving back to Fortuna to be with family, I spent time working for Sysco before I found S&L.

My interests include spending time with family and friends, camping, and home improvement projects.

I’ve been with S&L Foods for 6 ½ years.  What keeps me excited about work are the relationships I have formed with my accounts throughout the years.  Before working for S&L, I worked for 17years in sales for Anheuser-Busch and 14 years in food sales.  I graduated from Chico State with a degree in Mass Communications (back in the Dark Ages). 

My interests include watching all kinds of sports(basketball, softball, tennis), outside activities (hiking, bike riding), and watching my son compete in sports. 

I’ve been with S&L for four years now.  My favorite part about working is here is that everybody works as a team and nobody is afraid to get their hands dirty.  If there is a problem, it actually gets fixed… and fast!! We have a great open-door policy and everyone is willing to take time to answer questions.

Before S&L, I held sales positions for Pepsi and Wonder Bread Hostess in Sacramento and Pro Pacific Fresh in Durham. 

My interests include fishing, camping, taking motorcycle road trips and grilling outdoors.
