Barb has been working at Dave’s Evansville Ace Hardware since July 2003. A full-time employee of Dave’s Milton Ace Hardware since 1992, Barb initially planned to be in for a month to help in the transition to the new owners. However, she enjoyed working in Evansville so much that she asked to continue employment in the Evansvillestore. She has been given greater responsibility and has become more knowledgeable of the products and operations of the store. Past experience in Ace includes work at Harris Ace. Since joining the Ace retailing team, Barb has taken advanced courses in hardware retailing paint, plumbing and electrical. She also completed the Dale Carnegie course in public speaking and human relations. A native of Prairie du Chien, Barb and her husband, Ed raised 3 children. Then now have 5 grandchildren. Barb has a knack for remembering names, as many of our customers have already noticed. Taking care of her grandchildren is her favorite pastime. She is an excellent cook and enjoys making special treats.
