Josephine is a Western Mass native and has been with ShowGrounds for over 5 years, with her administrative work history she was quickly transitioned into a bookkeeping role. She attended WEG in 2018 in Tryon, NC which ShowGrounds held a small presence at and was able to get a first hand glimpse into the “horse world”.

Since then she has been along for the steady expansion of the business and hopes great things for ShowGrounds future. “It’s gratifying and almost unbelievable to see such a small, home grown business continually expand and grow. It’s becoming its own staple in a very niche type of business.”

Outside of work Josephine leads a physically active lifestyle, attends school part time and is enslaved by her Mini Dachshund, Maverick.

I’ve been a member of the SGL family for roughly 6 years. I was born and raised in South Florida. I pride myself on building up others and finding solutions. I’m a dedicated Video Engineer & SGL IT Specialist. Accomplished and goal-driven with over 20 years of experience leading a team. I hire and train like-minded individuals at each show company where SGL offers video services. My main goals are to inspire and cultivate productive working relationships with SGL employees and partners to achieve the highest level of service possible while driving business growth. When I’m not working you can find me at the nearest fishing hole.

I have become a proud member of the SGL team over my 6 years with the company. I have a background in video broadcasting and a passion for management. Nothing makes me feel more fulfilled than training employees and seeing them exceed their own expectations in the workplace! I have a track record of success in my previous management jobs. Now I look forward to growing with this company by learning new skills and seeing how far we can go together!

When I’m not hard at work, I enjoy building communities of like-minded individuals and spending time with Yoshi, my corgi puppy!

well. She hasn’t been with ShowGrounds for very long, but she is excited to learn more and
grow with the company. When she isn’t working, she enjoys riding her horses, working her
Border Collie cowdogs, and raising her new baby.

Hello, I’m Jaimee! I am a new(er) member of the ShowGrounds team, helping with the research and development as well as manufacturing in our little IT department. I was born in Tampa, but I’ve been a Massachusetts native most of my life.

A typical nerd, I’m constantly taking in new experiences to expand my repertoire of tech knowledge. I modify everything I own to reflect my personality and tastes, so you’ll probably find me at a computer with something in pieces in front of me.
