Our employees are our greatest asset, and are the key to Vernon Publications success. They're committed to producing quality products for the Puget Sound area. The Vernon Publications team works hard to become familiar with Puget Sound, and we think it's time to let you become familiar with them.
Trevor Vernon, Principal
Trevor is the creative guru on our team. He insures that our products are beautiful, quality publications. With his casual sense of style, he is often mistakenly taken for the "office gofer" rather than the owner of a successful publishing company. When he is not in front of his computer, Trevor enjoys spending time with his wife Meg and their two yellow labs.
Gene Walters, Principal
Gene is our numbers cruncher, making sure we all get paid, and all of our projects are on budget. His low-key manner belies the fact that he is a shrewd business leader. He is an avid sports fan, can tout team stats and is often the winner of the office sports pools.
Debbie Brickman, Office Manager
Debbie keeps the office running smoothly while wearing many different hats. Originally from Montana, she enjoys going back to visit friends in that wide-open country. Even though she often takes work home, she finds time to garden and spend time with her family.
Kristi Drake, Sales Department
Kristi is a member of our sales team located in Winnemucca, Nevada. A fan of both travel and the outdoors, Kristi she can often be found doing one or both with her husband and their two girls.
Tara Harmon, Sales Department
Tara is a voracious reader and lover of the great outdoors. When she is not outside enjoying a good rain storm, chances are she is perusing her favorite book store for a unique first edition.
Roger Hunsperger, Sales Manager
Roger is the sales backbone of the Telephone Directory Division. He makes sure the staff is well trained and working hard. His passion is the outdoors, likes to fish, hike and tour around the Puget Sound waters with his wife on their "yacht".
Jerry Kagan, Sales Department
Jerry never leaves a stone (or a lead) unturned. He motivates the whole sales team to work harder! It is a wonder he has time to work since he also enjoys kayaking, sailing, rowing, bird watching, gardening and reading.
Margie Lewis, Sales Department
Margie is our resident bundle of energy. The proud grandma of 3 is never far from her family nor from a good conversation.
Kent McKeller, Sales Department
Kent is our quiet sales guy until the conversation turns to boating. As the former owner of a San Juan Island tour guide company, he is very knowledgeable in all marine facts.
Kathy Newman, Editor
Kathy makes us all sound good¬…. A woman of many words! She is lucky to spend part of her summer moonlighting in Alaska as the "main cook and bottle washer" on the 58 foot salmon seiner that she and her husband own.
Michael Romoser, Sales Department
Michael is the sales and marketing idea guy with 20-some years of media management experience. When he isn't out chasing advertising, he's chasing his kids' many activities. He is widely involved in the community and always looking for a good round of golf.
Art Selhorn, Sales Department
Art is our old pro in the sales department. He has forgotten more about yellow page advertising than most of us care to learn. He loves to sing, even has his own CD and will always entertain us with his special charms.
Suzy Sickles, Sales Department
Suzy is a mother of five grown children, 3 boys and 2 girls, who enjoys cooking, singing and traveling to warm, sunny places.
Kerry Story, Sales Department
Kerry has managed to find enough hours in the day to be a full-time mom, wife, and salesperson. When she's not out in the field, you'll probably find her carving up some turns with her husband and two kids at Stevens Pass.
Janice Walters, Telephone Directory Coordinator
Janice is the taskmaster in the office. She insures the yellow page sales reps cross their "T"s and dot their "I"s. She takes a special interest in her children and always finds herself heading up the school parent committees.
Vernon Publications is a fun, family-oriented work environment, and that atmosphere has led to our success.
