Lori Davis
Commercial Customer Service Representative
How many years have you been with the company?¡¯s¡¯sIn December 2020, it was 31 years.
Have you held any previous job titles with the company?¡¯s¡¯sWhen I started here, I worked in the pre-press department, then I moved to accounting for several years working on paper inventories, timesheets and accounts payable. I moved to customer service about 19 years ago.
My hometown is…¡¯s¡¯sPortland, Missouri
The thing I love most about my job is…¡¯sMy customers. I work with some absolutely wonderful people and I love talking with them and of course helping them in any way that I can to produce a magazine. But also just getting to know them.
Working here, I’ve learned…¡¯sThat many of my customers are also long-time friends. Last year my 17-year-old daughter was in a horrible car accident where she was hospitalized for a month and then in a wheelchair for another couple months. My customers were some of my biggest supporters during this time. They called and left messages with my co-workers, they sent cards, emails and private messages. It was amazing and so appreciated!
When I’m not working, I love to…¡¯sSpend time with my 17-month-old grandson! I LOVE being a grandma!
An uncommon fact people might not know about me is…¡¯sI am heavily involved in state and local 4H shooting sports. I am a state coordinator and my husband is a state archery instructor. This means that we help with coordination and setup of the state shoot and the nine state teams that go to nationals each year.
I get inspired by…¡¯sKids. I just love working with kids and watching them develop and become their own person.
My favorite food is…¡¯sTakeout. After 30+ years of cooking for my family I like nothing better than takeout of any kind on a Friday night.
My guilty pleasure is…¡¯sI am an avid reader. If I have a good book I will read an entire day away.
