Meet Lindsay:
Hi, my name is Lindsay, and I am an artist, an educator, and a self-proclaimed neat freak. I enjoy spending time with my children, listening to music (The Doors and Radiohead are personal favorites), and cleaning…..yes really! My primary focus at Appleton is providing support to all members of the Appleton management team.
What I love most about working at Appleton is getting to be a part of an award winning company, that is a leader in its industry, and watching it develop from a small local business into a national franchise and a household name. My name is Lindsay – I’m a wife, I’m a mother, and I’m an Appleton employee.
