Meet Our Team

Susan started her career as a receptionist for a mill supply house, where she worked her way up to the receiving department. After getting married, she went on the road with a construction company. Since she moved every two to three years, she was the perfect example of a temporary employee. Working in different positions gave her the experience to understand how individual offices work. Susan and John started Quality Employment Service in January 1995. She has worked in nearly every position in the office. After 20+ years, Susan is still learning new things every day and loves what she does.

After serving in the United States Air Force, John received his degree in business management. He has been in management, purchasing, and personnel throughout his career.
