What is your favorite part of working for Big Creek? My favorite part of working here is our customers we see daily, my coworkers and the fast pace at the counter.
What’s your favorite product that we sell? I enjoy selling deck packages and fencing materials.
What do you like to do for fun? On my free time I tend to my garden beds (built with redwood from Big Creek) where we grow veggies and succulents. I also enjoy a good trip to the wine country and spending time with my family. Enjoy a good laugh…….

If I could go back 13 years to when I first launched my marketing company, I would do things a little differently. Of course, I’ve learned a lot along my entrepreneurial journey, and am much savvier about running a business now than I was then.
Recently, I launched a second business—a local craft workshop company—and was able to learn from my own wisdom gleaned from mistakes made with the first. May you also benefit from these tips so that you get to success even faster than I did!
