Dean - Co-Owner
Dean is co-owner of Craft-e-Corner with his “lovely wife, Carrie.” After years of teaching high school Economics, it was a natural course of events to join Carrie and their three daughters in founding Craft-e-Corner as a family business. From the outset, a determination was made to treat employees as part of that kinship, extending flexibility for them to balance job and home life. He gets daily inspiration from watching their girls as little helpers in craft projects – which in turn encourages him to offer quality crafting materials for others. Dean will give you one of his easy smiles when describing the pride he takes in selling family friendly products that document important memories. He is busy, but when he's not working, you’ll find him playing volleyball, golf, or teaching the girls to water-ski… just about any outdoor activity, especially during our short Wisconsin summers.
Carrie - Co-Owner
Carrie co-owns Craft-e-Corner with her husband, Dean, and their three daughters. She’s a busy and attentive person who handles many of the details and a lot of the research that goes into our company. Carrie likes to read – although these days it’s often children’s literature – along with bowling, swimming, playing cards and entertaining. You catch her sense of humor in anything she does but you won’t catch her in red – unless her childhood dream of becoming a tractor comes true. Carrie’s description for the love of scrapbooking may strike a note with many of us. “It allows me to express thoughts and emotions in ways I may not express outwardly. I can be playful, loud, mismatched, excessive and frilly. “
Tim - Warehouse
Tim manages the warehouse and order fulfillment at Craft-e-Corner. He’s an outdoors guy, and when he’s not working or going to school (busy man) you’ll find him with his girlfriend at a concert or Brewer game – maybe hiking or disc golfing. Some day, he plans to travel. But for today, his Environmental Studies education keeps him close to home and focused. His long range goal is in the renewable energy field – with a strong interest in solar. Tim not only gets the orders out efficiently, his environmental conscience helps keep our company green.
