Faye Wetzel
CEO/Owner
Email: faye@fayes123.com
Yep it's her name on the door. She owns the joint, and loves every aspect of the business. Like our very own superhero, Faye always seems to be in two places at once. Don't be surprised if you hear her on the radio in the morning, see her in the store that afternoon, and then watch her on the TV in the evening. She's just THAT good.
Hobbies: Watching trash TV on the couch with her three dogs, Reading, Dining, and Drinking champagne with her Ricky.

Rick Wetzel
COO, Chief Operating Officer
Email: rick@fayes123.com
Rick is married to Faye and after a wonderful career in the Engineering field, he has decided to make a science out of this thing we call fashion retail. So far he's realized it's more like trying to herd cats than an organized business, but little-by-little he is making progress. He also helps maintain the website. Looks pretty good, huh? No we're not talking about your picture Rick, we meant the website.
Hobbies: Woodworking, Wilderness camping, Cooking, and Taking the dogs to the dog park (the dogs are convinced they are the "three marshals" of the park).

Michelle Karch
Store Manager
Email: michelle@fayes123.com
Michelle works side-by-side with Rick and Faye to help manage both of the stores. She really keeps us on our toes. We'd say she's one tough cookie, but cookies are not her specialty. She's actually a certified cake decorator...so we guess you could say she's one tough piece of cake?
Hobbies: Hiking in the woods, Attending her kids' sporting events, and Trap shooting (Redneck? We think not. Just a whole-hearted Wisconsin woman!)

Andrea is a fashion marketing graduate from the Illinois Institute of Art. So she pretty much has a degree in always knowing what's hot and what's not.

We've heard her wheel and deal on the phone and we know she's gonna get us exactly what the store wants.
