She says, “I grew up in a small town in Iowa and helped my dad with his large-animal veterinary practice. As kids, we answered the phone and communicated on the handheld radio back to dad in his truck when he was on duty nights and weekends. My brothers and I also went on calls to farms and helped out while visiting with farmers about their lives and animals.”Today, Lene lives with Brian, her husband of 16 years, and her 15 year old son Zach. When she is not working at Spaces, Lene enjoys photography, painting, hiking, exercising and walking the family dog.

Lene describes herself as effective and states her words to live by as: “Be kind to others and believe in yourself.”Professional Experience and EducationLene has an amazing 31 years of industry experience along with a Bachelor of Arts degree in interior design from Iowa State University.
