Cathy has been with Lapeer Gold and Diamond since day one in 1998. As our Bookkeeper and Office Manager, you might not have much contact with her, but she is on top of it all. If you have a problem or concern or just need someone to point you in a direction, Cathy will make sure to put a smile on your face and a cup of coffee in your hand. But then it gets down to business, because Cathy takes her job very seriously and no buts about it she will get the job done. When Cathy isn't organizing or problem-solving at Lapeer Gold and Diamond, she is somewhere with her children, being the super mom that she is.

Mark has been with us since 2000. Mark is a talented goldsmith and designer. He loves people and is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. His patience and expertise will delight you as he designs the best and repairs the rest. Mark studied Laser Welding in Rhode Island to perfect his craft.
When Mark isn't working on jewelry, he likes to go camping and play golf (which he is also great at), but most of all being with his family.

Theresa has been with us since 2002 and will not only assist you in finding that perfect gift, she'll take the time to find out about you and what's going on in your life. Theresa likes to really get to know her customers, and can offer great advice about that gift you're looking for. When not working with customers, she handles all of our watch repairs from start to finish...it's Theresa who will be calling you about your watch! After work, Theresa enjoys golf and the occasional Casino visit.

Amy came to us in 2005. When it's time to create a new piece of jewelry, Amy is your gal. Amy studied design in Toronto and utilizes Digital Goldsmith, a software that allows the consumer to have input throughout the design process. Amy also has completed her Diamonds and Diamond Grading course through the Gemological Institute of America.

When not busy helping customers realize their jewelry dreams, Amy is our quality control inspector, overseeing every piece of jewelry and every repair that leaves our store.

Mort became part of Lapeer Gold and Diamond in 2005. With more than 47 years of experience, you may already know him. Mort closed his store in Flint a few years back and looks forward to seeing his previous customers here. Not many days go by without one of his customers from Flint making the short drive to Lapeer. When you need a jewelry question answered, be sure to check with Mort! When he's not working, Mort enjoys bettering the community and playing golf.

Julie has been with us since 2006. One of her first experiences with us was attending a jewelry trade show and the included educational seminars. She has grown in her product knowledge and is now our Pandora Jewelry expert. Julie has been an Ambassador of the Lapeer Area Chamber of Commerce and is a Kiwanis member. When not at work, Julie enjoys spending time with her family, likes to camp and fish, and even puts the worm on her own hook!

Linda is the newest member of the team at Lapeer Gold and Diamond, coming on board in 2007. Linda has more than 16 years experience at the jeweler's bench and is trained through the Gemological Institute of America. Maybe it just seems like there's always a smile on her face....nah, she's just a very happy person.
