"I have been working in this type of accounting since 2000. I worked full time in cost accounting previously and when we started having our kids I worked until 2009 part time with the original owners John and Karen Deitering who have since retired.

"In my spare time, we enjoy doing anything outdoors. Our children are getting older, our two daughters are in college and play softball. Our youngest is in high school and plays baseball, football and competes in wrestling. All of their activities and academics over the years have kept us very busy.  When we are not working or doing family activities we are involved at our church and love helping out when we can there."

"I have been in the business of accounting for about 6 years. I am retired from a previous career and I wanted to still help and serve people in a way that's beneficial to them. I enjoy meeting and building relationships with people that can grow overtime. 

​

 I am excited for this upcoming year and ready to get started in the season. Some of my hobbies include going across the states to watch my sons play the best sport in the world, football! I have traveled to about 30/50 states to watch football. I also enjoying spending time with my sons whenever I can." 

"Hello! This is my first year working at Heart of the Lakes and I'm excited for this next adventure! I love watching my kids play sports and watching my husband coach them. Some of my hobbies include baking, spending time with my family, and spending time outdoors.

I previously worked as a Special Education teacher, but I'm excited to learn more skills from the HLTS team. I'm excited to work with the HLTS team and meet you all!"
