Office
Stacie Stogner - Accounts Manager
Certified Event Rental Professional
Stacie joined the company in 2005, soon after leaving her hometown of Bixby, Oklahoma. She moved to this area when her husband was hired by the Mount Vernon Fire Department. She does sales work and light bookkeeping at PPC and is first in line to answer the phones. Stacie loves watching football (Go Cowboys!), shopping and spending time with friends and family. She advises customers to plan ahead, especially for those summer weddings. She’s here to answer your call!
Field Crew
Jimmy Mai - Crew Lead and load list guy
Jimmy joined the team in 2004. He loads and unloads the trucks, makes load lists for daily jobs and sets up tents. Jimmy plays poker, softball, basketball, croquet and fantasy football. He suggests that if you’re going to mow your lawn, you do it two or three days before the canopy is installed. That way there won’t be little blades of grass on the underside of your clean white tent.
Jamie Schleis - Crew Lead and tent expert
Jamie installs and maintains tents and the rest of the rental equipment. He has more than 23 years of experience in tent rentals. His favorite activities are watching movies, gardening, home improvement, electrical work, sewing and computers. Jamie likes the feeling of accomplishment he gets when he overcomes a difficult situation and finds a solution to make it work. As his father, Jim Schleis, used to say, "The difficult we can do. The impossible just takes longer."
Rich Eppley - Crew Lead and special projects manager
Rich is our "jack of all trades," an able tent installer as well as our go-to guy for building, equipment, vehicle, and computer maintenance. Rich grew up in Enola, Pennsylvania, but has since settled here in the Northwest with his son. Rich enjoys TV, movies, bowling, building PCs and cars. A highlight of Rich’s time at PPC was setting up a job at Boeing in Seattle for the Chinese prime minister’s visit.
