Lori's life prior to joining Coldham & Hartman had been fairly typical. After getting a business degree, she took an entry-level job and, while working her way through the ranks, she earned an MBA. Some 18+ years later she found herself well entrenched in the corporate world, managing the Import/Export department of a large international company.

Through the years, though, Lori came to realize that this was not what she truly aspired to do with the rest of her career and she decided to leave Hasbro to pursue interests that had taken a back seat for a long time. She enrolled in a certificate program for Interior Design at Bay Path College and looked into developing her artistic ability by taking classes in oil painting.

In late 1998 Lori suspected she might have found her perfect job when she responded to an ad for an office manager placed by Bruce Coldham, Architect. After meeting Bruce, Lori knew that, with her years of management experience and her interest in nature, art and design, this was where she belonged - and fortunately, Bruce agreed.

Lori lives with her husband Bill in a log cabin on twenty acres, along with their two horses, dog and cat. They also spend as much time as they can at their self-contained 500 square-foot camp on 100+ acres in southern Vermont, enjoying trail riding, hiking and the outdoor life with family and friends.
