Hey, I'm Lindsay Barczuk. I have been working for Carlisle for 3 years now out of the Denver office. I was originally hired as an Office Manager and spent most of my time keeping operations, IT, and other processes running smoothly. During the first few years, I learned a lot about wood and our practices. When I had some extra time, I offered my services and got involved with other aspects of the company, like sales and marketing.
About two years ago, I suggested to Don and Kerry Carlisle that we consider looking into the Green Building industry to see how our products might fit into the big picture. At the time, I knew we were already a green company based on how we had been doing business for 40 years - but I wanted to know more and see how we could improve. I think I'll spend a lot of time talking about the innate greenness of Carlisle and our products. From procurement to manufacturing and installation, we've thought of most everything and will stand 100% behind our practices. I look forward to sharing more of the specifics on this.
On a personal level, I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and moved out to CO about 10 years ago to attend the University of Colorado. While in school, I traveled internationally as much as I could justify - including a term on Semester at Sea traveling through Europe, Russia, and the Middle East. Upon graduation, I moved from Boulder to Denver and started working for an international company offering Geographical Information System (GIS) services. I wanted a little more out of my profession, but wasn't sure what that was. So, I enrolled in graduate school for an International MBA at the University of Denver. This experience facilitated even more travel, specifically to Scandinavia and Africa. Towards the end of it all, I realized that culture was my passion: I love food, music, art, and understanding the unique traditions to a particular region or population.
On a beautiful Colorado day, I enjoy taking my 140 lb. Bullmastiff/Rottweiler mix, Ruby, for a long walk to the farmers market. My goals here are to 1) wear her out because we all know that a tired dog is a well-behaved dog; and 2) pick out new ingredients to inspire a never-before attempted meal. On a broader level, the latter is my outlook on life... I enjoy being put into new situations, evaluating all the surroundings, and figuring what I can do to make the most of it.
I look forward to participating in this project and hope I am able to offer some valuable insight into how we work and what matters most at Carlisle Wide Plank Floors.
