Meet Our Team

Andrew

I am the Project Coordinator for All Volleyball. It’s my job to work with our vendors to ensure that all of our customers receive accurate orders and in a timely fashion.

In my opinion, the best thing about working at All Volleyball is that it is truly a family atmosphere. Every morning you’re greeted with a smile and a pleasant hello from the Owners and you are treated as if you truly are part of the family.

Brett

I currently work in the Team Sales Department here at All Volleyball. My role as a Team Sales Specialists is to develop a relationship with our customers and to help them find a solution to any of their team needs. I create specific and accurate quotes, help customers decide which product will best fit their needs, and be their main source of communication throughout the entire process.

The best thing about working here is the overall culture that has been created by the owners and the people that work here. The culture is the main focus point of this company with building a fun atmosphere, providing unlimited resources to unsure our best performance, and investing in their employees’ development. It is a family business where the people are amazing, who truly care for one another and will not hesitate to go above and beyond for their employees or community.

Brittany

I am the Process and Training Manager. I work with various departments and positions to continuously make improvements to processes and daily duties so things can run more efficiently than ever. I also help expand our volleyball and company knowledge through training and other forms of education to keep us at the top of our game. Finally, I am part of our philanthropy team, called All Volleyball Serves. It is meant to encompass our values by helping others through the game of volleyball and beyond. By donating our time, talents and resources through acts of charity and volunteerism, All Volleyball Serves will better our community on and off the court – as well as boost our friendships among our coworkers!

I’ve worked her for over 10 years and the best thing about working here hasn't changed. It is the people! I get to work with some of the best people in the world because the owners have worked hard to hire the best fit for our company and culture. We are a tight-knit group. We have fun, laugh so hard our cheeks hurt and celebrate when it’s time! But we also work hard, come together to reach common goals, and get the important things done.

Brooks

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!

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...

I work in the printing department here at All Volleyball. Being a part of this department means I am responsible for printing numbers, logos, and/or names on thousands of items each year.

The best part about working at All Volleyball is the atmosphere and the people. It’s a place that makes me wake up with a smile on my face and happy to come to work every day.

Christopher Jude (CJ)

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!.

Long lunches, lot's of play, hugs and high fives

Corey

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.

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.

Courtney

I am the Marketplace Specialist here at All Volleyball! If you purchase from our company on Amazon, eBay, or Walmart chances are I will be helping you along the way with any of your questions. I make sure that our customers are taken care of! This includes ensuring timely delivery, easy and efficient returns, as well as all order inquiries. I'm also in charge of new product research as well as inventory control. In addition to my main duties I also serve on our All Volleyball Serves team in the Team Building division. We make sure that each month we have one activity that betters our team inside and outside of our workplace. These activities can be volunteering, giving to charity, spreading awareness on an issue, or having our monthly potluck celebrations for employee birthdays and work anniversaries!

The best part about working at All Volleyball is that we are such a tight knit group that everyone feels like family. Being a part of AVB, you always feel encouraged by the people around you.

Emily

I work in our team sales department. I process all orders with personalization or paid by a purchase order that are placed on our website, or through our Team Sales Specialists. I coordinate with our manufacturers to ship items that are receiving personalization to our warehouse to decorate, or directly to our customers if they are not receiving personalization. I also make sure our customers receive and approve their proofs in a timely manner, so their order can be moved into production and arrive to them on time. .

The best part about working here is the environment and the people. We are all very close and we love working in a fun atmosphere.

Estera

I work in the warehouse where I am in charge of pulling, packing and shipping. I also handle inventory, making sure everything has a place and is put away neatly and clearly. Some smaller roles I play are assisting our retail store from time to time, handling phones calls and checking out customers. Currently I am working on a project which includes remodeling the warehouse to make it safer and more efficient. I also bring in fresh fruit every week for the office, to help promote healthy snacking.

There are so many amazing things about working here! First being the owners, they are truly amazing folks! They have created a great company where it is actually fun to go to work. Their kindness and generosity inspire hope and it’s something I look forward to each day heading in. Secondly, would have to be all of my co-workers, because they are all very supportive and sweet and make this company run. It’s like one big family and it’s a blessing to be a part of.

Evan

I help anyone who walks through our doors find what they need in our store. I also help with phone calls and orders. I try to make anyone who comes in to All Volleyball leave with a smile.

The Best part about working here is who I get to work with. I get to come to work and hang out with a second family pretty much. Everyone here treats each other with the same amount of respect, no matter their job level. And the owners are amazing and caring people.

Haeley

I work in the Team Sales Department here at All Volleyball. I help teams and clubs when they need a true team expert to get their gear they want on time, under budget and done correctly. Guaranteed!

The best thing about All Volleyball is knowing that you are working with people who have your best interest in mind and genuinely want you to succeed. It is amazing to work with a group of people who treat you like family and lifts you up. We work hard and have a good time doing it.

Kai

My main responsibilities consist of playing in the nursery, “rearranging” the store, running through the office, eating, laughing, crying, yelling and loving on my entire All Volleyball family.

I haven’t worked a day in my life, but the best thing about coming to work with daddy is getting to spend my day with Me-maw, Paw-paw, Aunt Sha-sha, Makenzie (my girl friend & boss) and everyone else here. They love me and I love them!

Kelsey

I am a Team Sales Specialist. I help teams, coaches and players get all their gear for their upcoming season. I love getting to help teams from the very beginning of the process of picking out their gear and seeing the final product!

The best thing about working here is the office environment. Everyone is always willing to drop whatever they are doing to help each other out. I am surrounded by such supportive and inspiring people. I can guarantee everyday I will come to work and have a good laugh with me team and leave with a smile! It makes coming to work fun and something I look forward to!

Kriss

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.

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

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.

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.

1. Faithful

Lillian

I love helping out wherever I am needed when I visit my All Volleyball family! Sometimes I help with airing up volleyballs, shredding paper, and I decorate everyone’s desk with the pictures I make them!

Getting to spend the day with my mom and everyone else here! Also there’s a lot of good places for hide and seek and a mini basketball game in the warehouse!

Makenzie

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.

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.

Matt

I add functionality to the website, fix things that are broken, try not to break the things that are working, and make things look pretty.

It's hard to have a bad day at All Volleyball. The people here are very genuine. They all smile and say hi when I walk in and everyone seems to like what they do.

1. Friendly
2. Welcoming
3. Fun

Melissa

I work in the retail store. I help customers find what they are looking for in the store and make sure they are happy with what they are buying. I also answer the phone when people call and I do my best to help them out and answer all of their questions.

The best thing about working at All Volleyball would be the people that I am surrounded by. I get to come to work and be with so many people who truly care about me and their job. Everyone is always so happy and positive. We are able to have fun and still get the job done.

1. Caring
2. Welcoming

Molly

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.

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!

1. Family

Samantha

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

Wayne

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.

The best thing about working here is the people I get to work with. Everyone is fun, focused, and a pleasure to be around. It's a real team atmosphere.

Will

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.

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.

I spend most of my day keeping any eye on the team from afar, which is now from doggy-heaven. I miss the team, but I'm still there in spirit.

Wyatt

When I get the pleasure of coming into the volleyball store, mostly I get to play in the nursery! I like showing off my skills to my coworkers too, like clapping. They love that one!

Being able to spend time with my family and friends, oh and having my own ‘office’ (the nursery)!
