Clickstop Team

Back in the day, just a handful of staff did it all, from purchasing to merchandising, marketing to customer service, fulfillment to accounting. Now there are even more smart, results-minded people on board to help us continually reach for success.

Executive Team

Tim Guenther, President and CEO
An instinctive businessman from the ground up, Tim founded the company that became Clickstop back before eCommerce was cool. Ignoring critics and their raised eyebrows, he parlayed an independent sales representative company in the building materials category (working long, stressful hours on the road) to an eCommerce-based business (working long, satisfying hours near home). Tim attributes his work ethic to his close-knit, self-reliant family. He strengthened his practical expertise with sales management, customer service, purchasing, product development, supplier negotiation, and acquisitions, while working as a independent manufacturer’s representative and during his time with a large metal building manufacturer, applying those principles today within a small business framework.

Todd Kuennen, CFO
Todd brings many facets of business planning and accounting to his role as Chief Financial Officer for Clickstop. His background includes positions with small to large-sized financial institutions, allowing him to merge practice and theory to guide us to favorable business outcomes.

Sarah Fare, VP Business Development
Sarah focuses on finding efficiencies and making life better for everyone at Clickstop. She oversees the customer satisfaction end of our business from the sales and support staff to the warehouse team that packs and ships every box that moves from our warehouse to customer’s doorstep. Her background in recruiting means Sarah knows people – she knows what makes them tick, how to motivate them, and best yet, how to reward them well for excellent work.

Ben Rechkemmer, VP Purchasing & Logistics
Ben has been with the company from the beginning providing him with valuable experience in nearly every facet of the company. Ben works closely with Sales and Marketing to manage inventory stock levels and assist with product development, as well as product sourcing from both domestic and import sources.

Tim Sanders, VP Warehouse Operations
Seventeen years experience in the lumber industry has given Tim a varied background in sales, customer service and warehousing. Tim began with Clickstop in Sales affording him valuable product knowledge and a firm understanding of the fulfillment process.

Kendra Smith, General Manager Bing Miller Lane
Kendra heads up the operations and management of the Bing Miller Lane facility. She built her merchandising role into a standalone department which made her familiar with the spectrum of industries we serve, as well as the products, vendors, competitors, and customer base. She was a key player during the 2010-2011 growth phase which involved her in many areas of the business including purchasing, finance, and sales. This knowledge of the day to day operations, as well as experience with strategic planning, serves her well in this leadership role.

We invest in an excellent team

Tom Altman
Tom hails from Solon where he roots for the Hawkeyes and the local high school sports. A father to three boys, when not busy cleaning up the mayhem, Tom enjoys motorcycling. This master of the web was a DJ in a previous life and goes nuts over a well-built BLT sandwich (can’t blame the guy!).

Sarah Barron
An original Vintonite, Sarah now lives in Cedar Rapids and supports her Hawkeyes (the tailgating’s not so bad, either) and loves spending time with her nephew. She vegs out with National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.

Brandi Borkgren
If Brandi could get away for a mini-vacation she would head to Key West and enjoy some ice cream on the beach. Diamonds are also important to her – softball diamonds for summer play, t-ball diamonds where she watches her kids score, and baseball diamonds where she watches the Cubs play, that is.

Scott Brunson
Scott is a die-hard Chiefs and Cubs fan. When not watching his favorite teams he likes to take the field and play softball or create beautiful illustrations. Scott hails from Waterloo, IA and has been with Clickstop since early days – see him for the really good stories.

Tony Conrad
Coming Soon

Kati Davis
As one of our SEO experts, Kati claims her path to internet geekdom began when she “built” her first website in 1999 and says the ever-changing world wide web inspires her love for the Henry Ford quote: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” Kati enjoys traveling (with Estes Park, Colorado a favorite destination) and admits that bribery is possible if dark chocolate and chai tea are involved.

Allen DeHeck
A taco lover, Allen likes to chill while watching The Hangover or playing disc golf. Born in Waterloo, Allen enjoys visiting San Diego and all the fun the city has to offer. He’s also trying to get a company bowling league started, but some are suspicious he’s motivated by the nachos and beverages, mostly.

Deb DeHeck
This Nascar fan loves being out-of-doors and a little George Strait (Pure Country is her fave flick). Deb loves a good, hot meal involving meat and potatoes. Preferably one she doesn’t have to cook or clean up.

Marty DeHeck
In his free time, Marty loves landscaping and watching Nascar. A slice of pizza and the flick Going South make him one happy guy. And yes, Marty and Deb are related, having been sweethearts since childhood. Awww!

Craig Douglas
Mr. Douglas is a football fanatic, so stay outta his way on Sunday and Monday nights during game time. Hailing from Nevada, IA he supports animal rescue (domestic pets to equine) with his wife of 30 years. Little known fact: Craig made an exceptional Yogi Bear one year at Halloween.

Stasi Edberg
Stasi lives on an acreage where she and her family raise miniature horses (remember My Little Pony?). She loves scrapbooking and watching football. We hear she’ll do anything to get out of cooking duty.

JJ Floss
JJ just might top Craig in the costume department considering he wow’d partygoers as Pee Wee Herman one particularly festive year. An avid golfer, JJ enjoyed physics in school and digs the allure of Las Vegas every once in awhile.

Mike Gaffey
Drive past Clickstop on a nice day and you may pass Mike on the road on his bicycle. Mike pairs his love for fitness with a love for good food and excellent coffees.

Court Garloff
A boy scout leader and father of twin teenage boys and teenage girl, Court is a first generation American.

Lisa Gray Guirato
If Lisa could get away tomorrow she’d head anywhere that has an ocean view and a beach. Chances are she’d take a stack of books with her – an avid reader and a MFA student at the University of Iowa, she’s all about words. Some favorites are “Your problem is that you keep putting your wishbone where your backbone oughtta be” from Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.

Megan Goebel
Megan enjoys zoos and water parks with her family (the zoo in Omaha gets two thumbs up). During her free time she enjoys gardening and canning the bounty, bike riding, and coaching soccer. We hear she’s the #1 Harry Potter fan (may have to duke it out with Sarah B. over the top slot) and holds a semi-record for the number of consecutive sneezes – 7!

Nicole Guenther
Nicole’s a mom of two active boys but never seems at a loss for energy or willingness to pitch in. When she gets a chance to relax, she enjoys a little Mexican food with the appropriate <ahem!> beverage and daydreams about vacationing in the Caribbean again. Lucky for us, she likes to cook and is great at planning events – two traits that keep the Clickstop natives well fed and having fun. Oh, and if you get a chance to taste one of her smoothies, bring your Big Gulp cup. Yeah, they’re that good.

Rachel Hansen
Our resident outdoorsy girl, Rachel loves camping, hiking, and backpacking, and dreams of visiting the ultimate adventure destination- Tasmania, Australia- one day. Until then, you’ll find this Vinton native enjoying Sushi and spending her Saturday’s in the fall tailgating at the Iowa Hawkeye football games.

Dalton Hefferman
Coming soon

Gwen Huinker
One of those crazy people who actually like math, Gwen thinks numbers and reconciliation (no fun!). Don’t let her sucker you into playing cards, she’s one of *those* people who always wins at everything! In her free time, Gwen loves being outdoors and hanging out with her nephews.

Brett Kelty
Brett enjoys cruising the streets of his hometown of Urbana in his classic muscle 1968 Chevelle. Ribeyes and pizza are a toss-up as his favorite eats, but Jethro Tull rocks as his favorite concert experience.

Lisa Kirchhoff
A NE Iowa native who recently moved back to her hometown after nearly 20 years away, Lisa often revels in the fact that she now works in a building surrounded by corn fields. She’s also happy to be closer to her beloved Iowa State Cyclones, even though her devotion makes her the target for bad jokes from the many Hawkeye fans here at Clickstop.

Weston Lohry
Weston is working his way through his final year at UNI and spent the last summer with us mastering photography. A true college student, his favorite food is tater tot casserole and he’s passionate about golf, acoustic guitar, drums, art and photography. Little known secret? He can make his chin completely flat.

Leslie Lowdermilk
Leslie has a soft southern accent (love!) and hails from Clemmons, NC. She loves peanut butter and Wake Forest football/basketball. Her weekly yoga class keeps her centered and humming along.

Amy McKay
If Amy could do anything she wanted for the rest of her life, she would become a roller coaster enthusiast. This goal-oriented lady wants to ride on every roller coaster in the US before she dies. This is a favorite. She also loves biking and is counting down the days to RAGBRAI – if she doesn’t move to Hogwarts and eat popcorn all day instead. She’s a photography buff (good since she’s the staff photog) and her favorite type of photography is of food.

Lisa Mathews
A native of Cedar Rapids, Lisa recently rocked to Three Days Grace and Flyleaf when they toured McElroy Auditorium. She spent a semester of college in Germany and can speak German and some Russian (wow!). Normally reserved, we were surprised to learn that Lisa shocked the preschool crowd by showing up as the Devil. That move kind of put the princesses and ballerinas in their place!

Jim Mayhew
Jim’s a local and our resident basketball fanatic (he tends to forget his age some weekends and hobbles in on Monday). Ever resourceful, Jim turned one year’s big foot costume into Chewbacca the following Halloween. Open meadows, mountains, and bubbling brooks relax him while Denzel Washington’s Man On Fire gets him pumped.

Dave Meindl
Our guitar-playing, pizza-loving friend has spent an extensive amount of time in Spain (something about the flamenco dancers…). A self-professed pay-per-click (PPC) fanatic, Dave spends his days figuring out the best ways to attract shoppers and get them buying. There’s a rumor that he went all-out one Halloween, competing with the neighborhood kids as Macho Man Randy Savage. We’re still hoping for a photo of that one!

Andrew Miller
Indian and Thai suggest adventurous culinary tastes for our Andrew. A photography buff, he’s often inspired by idyllic scenes in the quiet countryside when on a road trip with his cat. Andrew boasts perfect pitch and is practically a one-man band with his acoustic and bass guitars, piano and keyboards.  In his spare time Andrew revels in the imaginary glory of saving a rainforest village from an army of fire ants using only a spork.

Cory Nesbitt
Cory grew up in Hopkins, Minnesota and longs to travel to the open spaces of Montana. He has a passion for a hobby most of us aren’t familiar with: ice climbing. Get him talking about it or Lacrosse over a nice salmon dinner and you could learn a lot.

Mike Rosenberger
Mike hails from Dallas Center, IA and has presidential ties – he’s a second cousin (twice removed) to former President Dwight Eisenhower. We hope he won’t leave us for politics any time soon, but if he tries we might just have to leak his affectation for Will Farrell movies to the press.

Phyllis Severtsgaard
Phil’s our fitness nut, spending her lunch hour walking no matter what the weather (seriously!). That hardy spirit must stem from growing up on a dairy farm with four sisters. Generous by nature, Phil received a Governor’s Award for volunteerism. She enjoys spending time creating memory quilts and remodeling her house.

Cody Smith
Cody grew up as the youngest child in his family in Ida Grove, Iowa. He carried his Clickstop team in best shot golf this summer, but is truly passionate about slow pitch softball. Someday he’ll own a 1955 Chevy Belair of his very own, until then, feed him pizza to get a smile.

Lisa Thompson
Another Vinton native, Lisa loves her some football and is often busy cheering on her sons at their games. Interestingly, her best Halloween costume was a polar bear (confirmation – it’s hard to see when you’re wearing a big stuffed head) made by her mom. Next to shrimp scampi, Lisa loves visiting the western Iowa/eastern Nebraska area to see friends and keep up with the exhibits at the Henry Doorly Zoo.

David Urlaub
David loves food so much that he can’t bear to pick a favorite, maybe it’s because he brews his own beer so it’s best to experience a variety of foods to pair with it? Not surprisingly, David’s travel destination of choice is Germany. That’s a long way from Vinton, where he grew up.

Jen Visser
Jen hails from Anamosa originally. She’s fond of her pet menagerie (cats and dogs) and baking/decorating cakes that The Cake Boss would envy. An avid reader, she also enjoys experimenting with new recipes with the members of her cooking club. Favorite quote? “The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph!” – Marvin Phillips

Jessica Wagoner
Jessica may be from small town Iowa, but her tastes lean towards international when it comes to food. She loves ethic cuisine and enjoys whipping up exotic vegetarian dishes from Tai to Chinese with goodies from the local farmer’s market. When she’s not in the kitchen, she spends her time dancing with a professional modern dance company, teaching Zumba, reading, and playing with her nephews.

Dillon Williams
An Urbana native, Dillon’s interests range from paintball to drawing. He also loves baseball, and played for the Waldorf College team. Other favorite things include playing Xbox, spaghetti (with breadsticks!), and visiting Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
