Position
Accounts Payable/General Administration

Background
I have been with CasterDepot for 7 years. I was at Rogers Dept Store until they went out of business, before that I was GM of Document Services/Iron Mountain in Grand Rapids.

Favorite song to sing in the car or shower
“Paradise by the Dashboard Lights” by Meatloaf.

Hobbies
I read all the time and I am a big fan of Football and NASCAR.

Favorite CasterDepot interaction
One of our vendors’ AR person is a favorite of mine. She calls for payment information–she is very brisk and business like quite terse in fact. When I give her the information she says, “Now that that is done, guess what my dogs did last week?” and tells me everything that has happened since I last talked to her. I have never met her, but I do wonder what she looks like.

Interesting fact about Penny
In 1971, my boyfriend (later my husband) was drafted and I hitch-hiked to California to see him graduate from the Marine Corps. It took 5 days and he was very upset at me–I took a plane back. Later in 1975, I enlisted in the Army. He didn’t hitch-hike to see me graduate, but he did drive with my daughter and they watched me graduate.

What Penny likes most about her job…
I love paying bills!! It is very satisfying to see the balances go down. Also, I like to resolve problems and correct mistakes. The people I work with here at CasterDepot are very important to me, and I appreciate how hard they all work to achieve our common goals.

Penny’s favorite TV show/film
NCIS is my favorite TV show, I love Mark Harmon. My favorite movie is, “The Outlaw Josey Wales.” Our family motto is: “Endeavor to Persevere.” My girls and I live by that.

Penny’s family life
I have 3 grown girls and my pets are my 7 grandchildren. They are just as much work as pets!!
