Have you met...
Lori Bylsma, Cherokee Materials
Lori Bylsma, owner of Cherokee Materials, with husband Wayne.
My first job in the green industry
was...starting Cherokee Materials! This is my first job in the green industry, and I am very excited to be a part of an environmentally conscious, sustainable company.
The biggest challenge in my career has been…
Lori Bylsma
doing a good job at work while being present in my Phone: 770-946-3205 children’s lives. Email: lori@cherokeematerials.com Fax: 770-946-4552 The people who Address: P.O. Box 459 have influenced Hampton GA 30228 my career are...my Web: www.cherokeematerials.com parents who taught me to be responsible and to work hard, and my husband who encourages us to never give up when faced with adversity.
My biggest career success so far has
been…navigating a business through the Great Recession of 2009-2012 without laying off any of our workforce. As controller of a company within the hard-hit construction industry, it was a difficult and stressful time that I never want to go through again.
The thing I like most about my career
is…..supplying materials to create beautiful spaces.
My least favorite part of my job is…..
dealing with personnel issues.
One piece of advice I would give to someone entering the green industry
today is…do what you love and are passionate about.
The one thing most responsible for my
success is…my work ethic.
If I could change careers, just for a
month, I would…be a tour guide in the Tuscany region of Italy.
One thing most people don’t know about
me is…I love to visit historical places. We can learn so much from history; I find the struggles, ingenuity, and accomplishments of the people who came before us amazing and inspiring.
When I’m not working, I like to…work
in my garden, travel, and spend time with my husband Wayne, daughter Hayley, 24, and son Jackson, 20.
