Brooks
What do you do here?As one of the youngest members of the team, I bring a fresh perspective and attitude; mostly awe and wonder and a whole lot of joy. I occasionally attend our company-wide meetings where I like to voice my opinion spontaneously to, you know, make sure that people stay engaged. I'm looking forward to the day I get more mobile so that I can keep up with the other AVB kiddos when we are in the office; although now that they have those scooters for the warehouse, it may be a while!
What is the best thing about working here?I love to be held by Grandma and Grandpa or one of my other family members most days and I love the big welcome that I always get from everyone when I arrive, but I do have to say that the naps in the nursery are pretty awesome. It's so cozy in there...

What do you do here?I’m actually not the newest team member, but I am one of the youngest (for now). Currently, I focus on re-arranging the store and play area. I like the messy look a lot. I also really enjoy all the little treats my co-workers keep for me in their desk. What a team!.

Corey
What do you do here?According to my LinkedIn profile my primary responsibility is to manage the direction of the company and engage the heads & hearts of our team. In layman’s terms I spend my days casting vision, working on what’s currently broken (which could include a business processes or an actual piece of hardware such as a computer), what can be improved and supporting our team members.
What is the best thing about working here?I get to see most of my immediate family everyday and I also frequently bring my little men to work (CJ & Kai). This is a benefit anyone that has kids can take advantage of and it reinforces our idea of “family first.” I also get to work and collaborate with my wife, Krista, on some of our new initiatives! The free lunches, snacks, coffee, video games and other perks don’t hurt either. God has richly blessed me and I faithfully believe building this company with my immediate and AVB family is true calling to do good works.

Kriss
What do you do here?My husband, Wayne, and I along with our daughter, Shannon and son, Corey own All Volleyball. My "job" has always been bookkeeper but I've passed on that responsibility and now serve in an advisory role. Wayne and I stay involved in the vision and mission of the company and have entrusted the leadership, growth, decision making and operations to our very competent children and staff. What I hope that I do now is inspire, encourage, and support the people who work here by providing them with the tools and freedom to pursue their personal and professional ambitions.
What is the best thing about working here?The very best thing about working here is that I get to spend my days with my husband, children and grandchildren. In addition to that, there are days that I get to spend with my “other” grandchildren when they come to work with their parents. Besides seeing and spending time with family, I have the pleasure of working with my AVB family that consist of some of the most loving, intelligent, friendly, fun loving and hardworking people I know and have surely grown to love. As time goes by I've come to realize and appreciate the amazing opportunity that I have every day to witness my faith in God and am seeing that He is guiding me, my family, and co-workers to reach out to each other, our customers, and our community in praise and service to one another and Him through this place we call work.

Krista
What do you do here?I work to continue to establish the All Volleyball brand and lead the brand efforts in our new initiatives. I collaborate with team members on tasks ranging from an email campaign, or web page design to designing new products and designs for our own line of volleyball apparel. Each day brings an exciting, new challenge.
What is the best thing about working here?The people, hands-down. My husband, my in-laws and the "AVB family" are all inspiring to me. I feel very blessed that my days in the office may consist of getting to talk strategy with my husband, see my family members and do work alongside some truly great people. I bring the boys into the office when the occasion calls for it as not only is it fun for them to see family, but their interactions with the team are great learning experiences. I also like for them to see 'what else mommy and daddy do." Now, if you ask me this same question at 3'o'clock in the afternoon, some days, I'd have to say that, my stand-up desk and a cup of coffee from the kitchen are the best things about working here. Hands-down.

Makenzie
What do you do here?Currently, I am only on the schedule about once a week but I sure do get a lot done in that time. Most days I am here are spent with my Paw-Paw and Gram-ma. I keep the two of them busy taking walks when it is nice outside or playing Legos and Little People in the nursery. We also get to read books. I try to help shred papers or blow up volleyballs as much as I can but most of the time I am busy entertaining our staff, making them laugh or playing ring-around-the-rosy.
What is the best thing about working here?I don’t really get a lot of work done but when I am here, it is my favorite day of the week because I get to spend it with my All Volleyball family. I love everyone here so much and I leave here every time completely exhausted but knowing that they all love me too! Also, Paw-paw gives me tootsie rolls all day long.

Molly
What do you do here?I work in the Team Sales Department here at All Volleyball. My job consists of helping coaches, parents, athletic directors, etc. through the process of ordering team apparel from start to finish. My job is to make the process as easy as I possibly can for the customer so that I can alleviate just a little of the stress of ordering apparel.
In addition, I oversee our social media team. I work with a fantastic group of people who brainstorm and come up with endless ideas to create fun and creative ways for our followers and fans to continue to have entertaining encounters on our social media sites. I myself run Twitter and enjoy keeping up to date with the volleyball world and interacting with customers who have positive experiences with our company and brand.
What is the best thing about working here?The best part about working here is that it is a small business and I am not restricted to one area of the company. I am able to dive in and experience everything that this company has to offer (which is a lot!). It has helped me grow into a valuable team member with knowledge and skills in all levels. Another fantastic aspect of the company is all of the wonderful people that I work with!

Samantha
What do you do here?Like most of the staff at All Volleyball, I wear many hats, but most of my time is keeping an eye on our bottom line. As the bookkeeper, I am responsible for paying the bills, collecting on purchase orders, processing payroll, and many other things. I also work on our social media team, managing our Facebook page. When I am not doing any of that, I also work as a manager, in customer service, as well as handle some order processing. And with all of that, I truly love what I do.
What is the best thing about working here?There are many “best things” about working at All Volleyball. But, if I have to narrow down and pick one thing, it would have to be the owners. They are truly the best! They are the most loving, caring, thoughtful human beings I know. I started here right out of high school and worked all through college. Once I graduated I was offered a full time position! I have gone through many milestones while working here like getting married and having a baby. There is no blood relation but my daughter is their granddaughter. I have the benefit of bringing her to work almost every Friday of the year. And every time she is here, they spend as much of their day as possible with her. I am so blessed that my family can be a part of theirs.

Shannon
What do you do here?I work in the team sales division, primarily in the warehouse, coordinating team orders once they are placed with one of our team sales reps. I receive shipments of team apparel, verifying the products are correct, and then transport the apparel/equipment to the right locations within our facility (ex. Place jerseys in the printing department for personalization). Once all of the apparel for the team order has arrived and the personalization is complete, I package all of the items on the order and ship it to the customer. I also assist with odd jobs and projects around the office as necessary.
What is the best thing about working here?The best part about working here is definitely the atmosphere and the staff. We all work so hard, but have fun at the same time, which I believe is hard to find in most work environments nowadays. Everyone cares about each other and that shows in our daily interactions—both work related and on a personal level. I consider myself truly blessed every single day to be able to walk through the doors at All Volleyball and put in a hard day’s work alongside such an amazing group of friends and family (literally).

Shannon
What do you do here?I dabble in a little bit of everything – some days I am a shipper/receiver, some days I work in retail, some days I am a product developer/designer, some days I am human resources, and some days I am a buyer. But the biggest role I play at All Volleyball is being the self-described “Glue.” Not in the sense of holding the place together, but more like bringing the place together. As we have grown and added more people each year, it is very important to me that we retain that small, close knit family atmosphere. That is why it is always my main focus to make sure that each area of the business works fluently with each other just like we did when it was just the 5 of us back in the beginning.
What is the best thing about working here?Simply stated – the people. I am truly blessed that I get to spend every day with my real family, my parents (Kriss and Wayne) and my brother (Corey), BUT that I have the opportunity to work so closely with the other people in the company who have become my family – not just my “work” family, but my true family. We all laugh together and when things are tough we cry together. The people that work here are the most caring, dedicated, loyal group that I have had the pleasure of meeting. Every day when I walk in these doors I feel extremely loved and cared for and know that no matter what the day brings my way I have my FAMILY to lean on…and there is no better feeling than that!

Stephanie
What do you do here?My role at All Volleyball is the Administrative Coordinator! I am responsible for processing bill payments, receiving vendor invoices, and also keeping track of our inventory daily. Each day I update the website with the correct availability of each item we offer. When I’m not doing any of that, I’m trying to assist fellow co-workers, as well as any other side projects that come along.
What is the best thing about working here?The best thing about working at All Volleyball is definitely the team atmosphere and the people that provide it. Everyone loves what they do and the role they play here. I feel so fortunate that I work at a place that is family-based. There are even occasional days when I can bring my daughter, Lillian, and she loves it here as much as I do!

What do you do here?I have the best job. My wife Kriss and I along with our daughter, Shannon and son, Corey own the company. We've handed over the day to day operations, growth and leadership to our extremely capable children and staff. We concentrate on the vision and mission of the company.

What do you do here?I currently help manage our digital marketing efforts, with my primary responsibility being on Paid Search. This includes managing and editing our Adwords, BingAds, and Yahoo Gemini accounts. I also have responsibility for managing our 3rd party marketplaces including Amazon, Ebay, and Jet. In addition, I help with market research to identify trends and discover new opportunities for All Volleyball to succeed.
What is the best thing about working here?My favorite thing about working here is the atmosphere and the people. The people here make it fun to come to work and it’s awesome to work for a company that really cares about giving back to the community. Being a small company, there are always opportunities to work on projects outside of your comfort zone and that can be very exciting and rewarding professionally.
