Our Office Manager, Jennifer, brings a diverse background of retail, banking, and construction office management that contributes to the many reasons she is a perfect fit for Tri State Building Supply. She provides a bright light to the team and is excited to watch the company grow. Jennifer enjoys the process of marking things accomplished and ensuring everything balances.
A Dubuque native, she’s been married to our General Manager, Mark, for more years than she can count and together they have two sons, Wyatt & Colten. Jennifer loves to cook, bake, and belongs to a book club and film group. Her passion is creating jewelry, mixed media, and folk art, of which 20 projects have been published. She’s known for bringing little gifts and treats to the staff and “keeping the boys in line”.
“I think the thing that excites me the most about this new opportunity is seeing all the enthusiasm from Mark (her husband). He has been very ambitious about opening this store, and it’s been great to watch him be so eager and passionate. If anyone in Dubuque knows the lumber business, it’s Mark! He convinced me to come along when he said, “Imagine when in a couple years we can look at a successful, new, local lumberyard and say, ‘We did this together!’” That’s when I was sold!”
