Our Team

As President of Shaker Woods Helping Hands, I am looking forward to expanding my abilities and knowledge into helping those in need. This is a true passion of mine. Although I have learned many trades over the years, my compassion for others came to life when I began working with my mom and step dad-Sue and Sam Ferguson in 1999, running Shaker Woods Festival. I have owned and operated this family business since 2012 and hope to continue the success for many years to come. 

I have been married for 34 years. I worked for USPS for 20 years. I love being able to help those who need a helping hand. I enjoy getting involved and helping others in the community and surrounding areas. 

I am currently the elementary Principal and Assistant Superintendent for Columbiana Schools. I have been in the district for 31 years. I serve on the Columbiana Area Chamber of Commerce and the Columbiana Cultural Collective-Main Street Theater. I knew the first time I met Lana that we were destined to work together. Helping others and spreading care in our community and surrounding areas is our wheel-house. Our team is built on passion and care. I am honored to be a part of this loving endeavor. 

I have been a Superintendent with DelSalvo Construction for 30 years. I enjoy what I do. I began helping my wife at Shaker Woods in 2012 and her passion to help others has inspired me to get involved with Shaker Woods Helping Hands. 

I work at our business S.R.E. Doors and Hardware, Inc as office manager. I also love to detail vehicles. It is relaxing for me and it gives me mad money.  I got involved with Shaker Helping Hands because Lana is the most loving, caring, and giving person I know and I just want to be able to help her help people in need. What she has started is a really good way to help people and we have a great group of people who have stepped up to help. 

I am the President/Co-Owner of G B Kauffman and Associates. I have a passion for helping others. I have been a part of several community organizations including ; Crown Theater Productions and the Nicest Place in America campaign, Relay for Life Crestview High School Music/Drama program and many more. Being a part of Shakerwoods Helping Hands Foundation allows me to continue to give back to so many in need. I am proud to be a part of this amazing team.

I have lived in this area my whole life. My husband of 38 years & I have raised our 3 children to be members of this & our surrounding communities. I’ve spent the last 25 years working in customer service, making home renovation dreams come true. I’m looking forward to expanding my social connections by helping those in my community.
