Past Grad & Advisory Board member, Tammy Wold visits



Past Grad, Tammy Wold, came to visit and talk about spraying technique. Tammy graduated in 1980, and was hired on as a touch-up and repair tech at a furniture company in St. Paul, MN where she worked for 2 years. In 1982 she worked as a subcontractor doing refinishing of furniture and residential kitchens. In 1983 she went to work for a refinishing company in St. Paul until 1986 when she opened a small business in Maple Grove, MN. Their main work was prefinishing for other businesses in the industry, cabinetmakers, furniture makers, and store fixture manufactures. In 1998 Tammy went to work as a supervisor of the finishing department for Nevers Industries, a company that manufactures conference room furniture to order. We are also honored to have Tammy as a member of the Dakota County Technical College Advisory Committee, which she joined in 1999.
