Lori has been a part of the Splitcoast team since 2007, but this was her second home long before that! Personable, knowledgeable, and a great communicator, Lori jumped right into the controlled chaos, and today she enjoys working with our fabulous group of advertisers.

Lori has lived all over the midwest and the south, and she currently calls Marshall, MO home. If you dropped by, you'd find her 1) working on Splitcoast 2) crafting in her closet or 3) enjoying life in her own little MayberryUSA.

Lydia is a Texan, forcing her parents to move there from Buffalo, NY on her third birthday, and settling in Austin after numerous cross country adventures.

Lydia joined the Splitcoast team in 2010 as Website Manager, satisfying her competing passions for technology and papercrafting. If she hasn't made someone laugh or squeal on the Splitcoast social media sites each day, she just can't sleep at night.

Beate grew up in Germany but has lived in New York, Virginia, Illinois, Texas, Florida, Ohio and now Oklahoma since moving to the states. We like to think she's on the lam; Beate blames it on her husband's Air Force career.

In the early days of Splitcoast we didn't get much email (there weren't a lot of us here!). But we did hear from Beate, with frequent requests to add new gallery categories. That's because she's very prolific (as you might be cluing into if you've ever checked out her blog). Beate became our first team member, and today she authors many of the fabulous tutorials in the Resources section as well as helping to produce the Weekly Inkling newsletter.

Daven and Tracy Nolta founded Splitcoaststampers in January, 2003 as an extension of Tracy's stamping business, originally with the intention of supporting her downline and whoever else wanted to stop by. There were no great expectations at the time, and only a single real objective - providing a place where people could gather and feel welcomed and comfortable. That's still the Splitcoast mission, and we're honored that you choose to spend your time here. Daven and Tracy have moved on to other careers, but their creation lives on!
