Running wild on the shores of the San Juan Islands, between Washington and British Columbia, Sara spent her childhood summers fishing, setting crab pots, digging clams and shucking fresh oysters off the beach. In her 20's she spent three years fishing on an Alaska tender and selling smoked salmon during the off season. Sara then owned and managed a prominent fish market in Seattle's Pike Place Market selling fresh local, Alaskan, and exotic seafoods.
Sara brought her experience and great enthusiasm to E&E Foods in 2004. As Team Leader for Fresh Sales, Sara primarily sells all five species of salmon, Alaskan halibut, and black cod. She also manages communication and coordination between E&E Foods' processing plants and sales office.
"I really enjoy the relationships I have with my customers and the people who make everything happen at our plants. It's really all about teamwork," says Sara. "I also just love what I sell - who wouldn't?!"
