A Shed Wife reflects on the past year and expresses thankfulness for family, both related and shed-related.
Melissa Kuhlmann
Melissa Kuhlmann and her husband Jim co-own JMAG, LLC, a RTO company based in Southern Illinois. She and Jim have been married for 17 years with Jim beginning hauling sheds back in 2005. Melissa has a bachelor’s degree in secondary education, as well as a masters degree in educational psychology and educational administration. Besides owning JMAG, she is the principal at Carrier Mills-Stonefort Elementary School. She and Jim have two girls, Aly, age 11 and Greenlee, age 8. Having grown their marriage in the shed industry Melissa loves to hear fun shed hauling stories, as well as seeing how women are working and thriving while living and supporting the shed life.
The Power of Customer Service
You must give your customers the best service possible to keep them coming back while continuing to grow a prosperous business.
Getting Together, Giving Back
I encourage anyone who owns a business to work to give back to your employees, salespeople, manufacturers, etc., that you work with.
The Employee is Always Right
Our employees are the frontline workers for our businesses. I believe we are not valuing them if we can’t listen to their ideas and needs for our companies.
The Life of a Shed Hauler’s Wife
I often tell my husband his ability to back a trailer, shed, camper, boat, etc. has always been one of his most attractive qualities.
Being a Shed Wife
Supporting an industry that is ever-growing and changing while growing our families definitely requires balance and perseverance.
