Kris Shefveland,
CFO and Operations Manager,
holds a B.S. degree in Computer Science, with over 20 years experience in the
information technology and printing industries. His knowledge
and interest in digital scrapbooking and photography has been instrumental in the
formation and operation of CottageArts.net.
Kris and Michelle reside in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, with their
three rapidly growing kids and rescued yorkie. Scrapbooking will hopefully
slow down the growth process (or at least capture it, so they can
remember it!). They love to spend time on the lakes of
Minnesota in the summer and be cozy indoors in the winter! |
