Staff Profiles

Kaye Eisele, Receptionist

Kaye Eisele is the name, FUNs her game. Kaye is a wife (40 years) a mother and grandmother of 6. She knows how to be fun, but she can also be compassionate when the situation calls for it.

After 33 years of commuting to Minneapolis and high stress jobs, she decided it was time to give that all up and go for the job that she thought would be FUN. So, one day she picked up the phone, called our office, and told us just that. We hired her and the rest is history.

Kaye has been here for 8+ years and still “lights up” the place. Her main responsibility as Receptionist is to make you feel comfortable. Over the years, she has served many cups of coffee and gotten to know many of you. She would like to thank you all for making her job what it is.
