Our Team Grows w/addition our New Assistant

2005 has proved to be an extremely busy year for both Jim and Teresa. With a 124% increase in business growth over 2004, a decision was made to hire an assistant to manage new marketing objectives, allowing them to spend more personal time with clients. Gretchen Richter began with Teresa and Jim in mid-September and is now working towards becoming a licensed assistant in order to provide even more support to the team in the future. Gretchen is a former client of Jim’s who brought a thorough background in marketing and sales to position. She also has a knack for both interior design and print design which she has already translated to activities within Jim & Teresa’s practice. Gretchen says she couldn’t be happier with her decision and is already an integral part of the team.
