The Resource Team

Ron Barth & Steve Spett
Owners/Evangelists

Some partnerships just work better than others. Starsky & Hutch, Bert & Ernie, Wyle E. Coyote & Road Runner . . . Ron & Steve. For more than a decade, they have built Resource Furniture from a single room to a global brand, opening five new Resource Furniture showrooms in 2011 alone. With 100% commitment to client satisfaction, 100% dedication to quality, and 100% assurance that the hard work is also enjoyable, this is only the beginning.

Challie Stillman
Design Director/Hand Holder

Challie is our very own Wonder Woman - dashing to client’s apartments in the nick of time to save them from the evils of puce, florescent lighting and doors that open into each other. She thinks out of the box, and keeps a stack of creative solutions in her back pocket at all times. She is our go-to girl with any questions about anything aesthetic. And she’s always right. Keep that in mind.

Lisa Blecker
Director of Marketing

Lisa almost comes from Kentucky. In Kentuckagueese, LISA means “woman with many hands”. She’s been seen working with clients in the showroom, writing press releases, creating new and exciting advertising, all while eating a Subway hero.

Kirk “Get ‘er Done” Schuly
Production Manager/Therapist

No stairwell is too narrow, no custom-order is too crazy for backpack-toting Kirk - whether it’s convincing the delivery guys to walk up those six flights of stairs no one mentioned or figuring out that the ceiling is 2” lower than the furniture BEFORE the order is placed, Kirk is everyone’s hero. He needs a cape.

Micaela Frantz
Production Coordinator/Mixologist

Scheduling installations, rescheduling installations when no one is home, processing orders, processing the changed orders when Kirk finds out that the ceiling is too low, buying pretzels, navigating the maze of international customs - Micaela does it all with a smile and a kind word. She’s a freak. And we love her.

Jake Verost
Sales Expert/Resident Know-It-All

Jake, in fact, does know everything. It’s irritating and invaluable at the same time, which is confusing, yet comforting. If you have a 3’ x 5’ room and need to sleep 14 people, Jake could definitely figure out how to fit in 2 more. Go ahead - just try to stump him.

Christine Salzer
Sales Expert/Resident Canadian

Christine makes every day a reason to come to work. Her experience, humor and insight are off the charts. If you have a 3’ x 5’ room and need to sleep 14 people, Christine would have that floorplan done, colors selected, the site measured and the order in production before you got to the elevator. And then she’d have you over for cocktails.

Mariel Rugg
Marketing/Keyboard Queen

Mariel personally answers every inquiry from every person in every country every day. It’s exhausting even watching her. She knows which beds will support a 3-person pillow fight (answer: all of them, but the question was frankly way funnier than the answer) and she knows how long something will take to ship to Yugoslavia. (answer: not as long as you would think for a country that doesn’t exist any more) And in her spare time she assists with marketing while riding bareback. You go girl.

Emily Moeller
Marketing and Sales Assistant

Emily is a Southern girl without a Southern accent. She is now a New Yorker, which we are very happy about. She can make a perfect AutoCAD drawing out of 6 feet of yarn and a handful of Tic-Tacs, and will answer every single question you can think of with a smile. Even on Saturday at 5:05 pm.
