Rick Cricow

Rick Cricow

Boss

I'm Rick, and I'm where the buck stops. Writing our own bios was my idea, and darn it, now I have to do one too.

I started this company 30-some years ago, and still love doing this. We get to play with the best artists around, create great product, and sell it to the nicest folks we know (plus a few pain-in-the-asses, but only a very few!). I get to travel overseas, play with computers, learn about manufacturing and supply; I can't think of anything better to do.

Bringing dogs to work is my idea, and Murphy and Ruby thank me daily when I wake them in time to get ready. We try to create a humane workplace here and help promote sane working conditions with our employees. Only one employee brings his dog to the office right now, but we're talking to others.

Other than work, I can't think of anything better than travel. Even business travel is great; seeing people in working environments shows me how other people live their lives. Learning about people is always fascinating. I guess I could have been an anthropologist, rather than a stickerographer. And yes, for a mid-life crisis, I took up diving. It was cheaper than a sports car.


Heidi Zumbrum

Heidi Zumbrum

Operations Manager

I oversee our Operations Department. Anytime you place an order (or on the rare occasion that we made a mistake on your order), rest assured that I am the one making sure that it is handled swiftly. I have been with Net Sales for 6 years, mostly focused on sales and trade shows until recently. Now I pretty much do it all. If you have questions regarding shows, orders, products or shipping- I'm your girl! In my spare time I enjoy floating the river, camping and running a general muck. I love the outdoors and I am always on the go!

Sales and marketing

Hi all! I am the dork of the group and proud of it. After years of Rick trying to get me to move to Oregon and work for him, I made him a deal! I now work from home and love my job. I have two great kids, 20 and 16 and yes I am too young to have them! Not really, but I hold on to that thought. I also have a terrible animal rescue addiction. One day I hope to own a no kill animal shelter. Until then I place, donate and rescue those in need. Otter Pop, Mr. Raymond T Jr Byram and Eva Marie Byram are my three amazing dogs that I was lucky to save and they now rule the house. Yikes, went to buy dog food and added a 4th...Misa Lou is now part of the pack. Note to self, Humane Society has dogs for adoption on Saturday at the pet store...never buy dog food on a Saturday. I love all music, art, outdoors and friends! Rock on!


Matt Stewart

Matt Stewart

Art Director

I am Net Sales' artist-in-residence--the guy who formats and tweaks and prepares other artists' work for publication into the cool stickers and such that you've come to expect from Net Sales-- and I develop and render my own concepts too! I touch pretty much every Net Sales product. (I am somewhat more multi-dimensional than this pic would suggest!)

Also, I am the proud parent of Friday, the newest addition to the Net Sales Pack. My Golden Lab, Cooper, taught Scottie Ruby how to be a good dog and play nice; now that Cooper has passed on, Ruby is trying to teach Friday the same lessons.

Customer Service

I have been with Net Sales 4 years. I help our customers place orders, address problems and make things right! I like talking to customers and helping when i can... Too, I am like Murphy and Ruby and Friday's surrogate mom, and keep a drawerful of treats handy at all times!


Becca Loewe

Becca Loewe

Marketing/Customer Service

Hey, I'm Becca, the office newbie here at Net Sales and have been a part of the family for over a year now! I used to take your orders and help you out with problems or questions. Now, they've moved me upstairs into my own office and I currently work on new products, managing our website, giving Net Sales a presence on social media sites, and maintain relations with our wonderful artists.

When I'm not working on getting cool new stuff into production, I like to throw on my sweatpants, relax at home with my honey and watch some football. Photography is my niche but I'm also passionate about the beach & music! I am a Seattle native but am definitely an Oregonian for life. Call me crazy, but I love the rain :)

Go Ducks!!

Purchasing Plus

My? My name's Scott. Hi, everybody!

I work in the warehouse and do ordering at Net Sales. I worked for some time as a dishwasher/night janitor at a local hospital. Later worked as an office temp in Boston and spent a couple of months opening mail for the infamous Reverend Ike, America's least respected TV evangelist. Went on to work in a high end furniture store and art gallery. That business closed but I soon found myself working again with art. Sticker and button art this time.

Warehouse Manager

My name is Doug Thiesfeld, A.K.A. Dougie doug A.K.A. Sure-Ships-Alot, A.K.A. pac-man, A.K.A. Sticker Slinger, and last but not least, Lord of da warehouse!!
"Ship it.........Ship it good." Thats my motto! I have been with Net Sales for about 3 years now, and have managed the warehouse for 2. This is a fun yet professional atmosphere and im proud to be a part of it. We strive to get orders out correctly and the same day whenever possible. Quick and complete, thats how we be rollin!
When im not sticker slingin, I enjoy being with my beautiful wife/ best friend Shyla, and my genius dog Lexus. Shyla and I have been happily together for 10 years now, and married for 3! Lexy is here in the warehouse on a daily basis and enjoys meeting all the delivery people that roll through here. She has extensive knowledge in tricks and is a very well behaved dog. She is 10 years old now, but she still thinks shes 3! She was pulling orders for us, but stickers dont do well with slobber. We tried! So now she just tries to get lovins wherever, and whenever she can!

EDI 101

Hey my name is Noah and I am the EDI guy for Netsales. I mainly deal with larger retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target. I am the newbie around here but everyone treats me like I am part of the family and I love it.
So a little about me, I have lived in Oregon my whole life and I don't think there is anywhere better. I like to be outside and go on hikes but I also like hanging out at home where I can play my didgeridoo and my new xbox 360.

Murphy, Ruby and Friday

Murphy, Ruby and Friday

The Net Sales Pack

Sometimes lined up for a treat, sometimes curled up here and there for a nap, and sometimes nothing but a rolling, barking, scampering blur, these three drive us crazy and keep us sane. If you hear barking when you call in an order, just know that the Pack is on the job, and all is right with Net Sales!

Clockwise from the upper left, Murphy, Ruby and Friday.

"She Liked To Go"

Maggie was an integral part of Net Sales for 13 years. Rick's best friend, a valued supervisor and trusted advisor, she loved coming to work and overseeing her staff. She is missed.

"Smiling Boy"

Patient, big-hearted, smiling Cooper: never did a girl have a better friend than Ruby had in Cooper. We miss him awfully.
