Before joining the company in 2011, Julie spent many years in the field of education. With her attention to detail and creative touch, she works with team members to help them create and implement their marketing programs. She also works closely with Art to coordinate upcoming client seminars and events.

Julie grew up in Pennsylvania, where she enjoyed many outdoor activities with friends and family. A fervent Philadelphia Phillies fan, she has been going to Vet Stadium since she was in diapers. After graduating high school, Julie went off to Mansfield University in Mansfield, Pennsylvania, where she earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education.

After teaching for several years in Pennsylvania at the elementary school she attended, Julie couldn’t handle the snow anymore, so she moved south to Florida to continue her career in a warmer climate. Several years later, Julie had a student by the name of Rachel McPherson in her classroom. Rachel’s father, Art McPherson, volunteered as a chaperone for every class field trip. With Rachel’s matchmaking skills, Art and Julie married in April 2007.

Art and Julie have two children, Rachel, who is a graduate of Florida State University, and Christian, who is a graduate of Liberty University. They also have many pets: Sarge and Ruby (rescued Goldendoodles), Renegade (Labradoodle), and several fish that don’t live long enough to get names.
