Andrée Jansheski
Andrée says she was born with her clothes folded. “Throughout my life I have been complimented on my organizational skills, which were particularly useful considering I moved about every two years. With each move, I always had my toolbox in hand and the movers would inevitably comment, ‘Wow, you are really organized!’
She has twenty-four years of retail experience with two major department store chains. Starting in the basement receiving area, earning successive promotions, she became a buyer, then a General Manager, and finally a Vice President.
Andrée’s husband, John, introduced her to the self-storage business. In 2006, they turned their business into a Certified Green & 100% Solar Powered Business, a matter of great pride for them.
“I enjoy our daily interactions with a diverse stream of customers who allow us a brief glimpse into their lives during times of great change. Many have expressed their appreciation and sadness when they no longer need our services and are finally on their way. Our customer service is especially important to us.
Andrée began jotting down helpful tips, then printed small handouts to give to their customers. This led to several suggestions that she compile it all into a book. “I called my good friend Marsha and presented her with my idea, since I trusted her as someone to edit, coordinate, and take control of the process. Now all of the helpful tips and moving experiences I’ve accumulated over the years are in this humorous book, Don’t Pack Me, How To Pack Everything Else."
