 Beth ScottSales Manager Beth is a very fun loving girl from Ohio. Yes, Ohio. Don’t hold that against her. However, she’s recognized Kentucky superiority and now calls Richmond home. As an Alpha Delta Pi here at EKU she met her husband, Chad, a Colonel football player. Beth has 4 kids, but only one of them, Gavin, is human. She also has two lab mixes and a beagle. And just so you’re aware, she calls her beagle her weiner. We’ll never forget the time she went to a birthday party for a dog! FOR A DOG! And if you think that’s bad, wait until she tells you about the time where she dressed them all up for Halloween! We love you, Beth…. you weirdo! |
 Allison SenetteAccount Specialist Allison is from Alaska. Like, for real, Alaska. And on her very first day, she was asked “Have you ever eaten blubber?” Unfortunately, Allison has never had the pleasure in feasting on Alaska’s coolest export. We’re really not sure what she was up to up there, but she certainly has blubber-eating on her agenda for the next trip home.Allison is engaged to her fiance, Matt, who is only 18 inches taller than her. Matt works at GE in Somerset where they share a home and a big ol’ dog named Rue. Allison enjoys the outdoors, and remembering her glory days of playing volleyball and soccer in high school. She’s lived 3,148 places in the world, including Pittsburgh, Chicago and Japan. Take that, lost luggage from Delta! |
 Shaun ColegroveVP of Production Shaun is Surge’s VP of Production. This isn’t his first time around the block either. He is a former production manager and has 25 years retail management experience. An interesting fact about Shaun is that he once spent 2 days in the hospital when a toilet fell on his back. That’s some serious bad luck. Shaun enjoys playing the Dulcimer (which is a Greek guitar), eating at Jay’s Famous Hot Dogs in Youngstown, Ohio, listening to Nine Inch Nails, and watching his favorite movie, The Breakfast Club. Shaun has two daughters—Madison (9) and Lindsey (3) who he works so hard for! Awww. |
 Cindy FreemanShipping & Receiving Manager Cindy is Surge’s Shipping and Receiving Manager. What we have here, she gets it there. What you have there, she’s orders it here. She’s pretty bossy in that way. Cindy also doubles as a Production Assistant. You can thank her every time you open up a T-shirt order from us and find your garments neatly folded and accounted for. Cindy is a graduate of Estill County High School where apparently they never taught her to whistle… which is why she still doesn’t know how to whistle. Cindy’s favorites include Olive Garden (nice choice!), the band Tool, Mocha Chip Blizzards, the movie Avatar, and reading and taking pictures. |
 Emily RenshawVP of Finance Besides being a huge fan of Christmas time and corny jokes, Emily is Surge’s Finance Manager. She is a 2008 graduate of Eastern Kentucky University’s College of Business. If you want to poke fun of the person that processes your money, you can make fun of her short legs. She can touch her toes without bending her back—do what?!Emily’s favorites include Sonny’s Restaurant, the TV show The Big Bang Theory, and the movie Life is Beautiful. She would also like to add that she is from Ohio (O-H… I-O!) and loves the Bengals and Reds. She enjoys watching British comedies with her grandma (aw!) and hanging out with her mom who is her rock. Oh, and most importantly, she drives “awesomely!” |
 Jered CampbellSenior Artist Jered is known mostly for his amazing artistic skills, but right up there is his use of gnarly adjectives. “Rad. Sick. Sicnasty. Dope. Fresh. Swell. Splendid. Fantabulous.” Okay, the last few were a bit of a stretch. Still, his vocabulary is certainly worth the price of admission. Jered comes to us via Pittsburgh. That makes the second Surgenite to come from the glorious state of Pennsylvania. I guess there are good people up there…. as long as they aren’t Steelers fans! |
