Kim Clowers, Office Manager      email me!

Kim affectionately says she "drives the desk" at Clowers Carpentry because she takes care of everything from answering the phones to Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Payroll, and anything and everything that involves paper and paperwork.

Born and raised for eight years in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Sulfur Springs, Texas, Kim's youth was spent living and traveling with her parents, brothers, and sister all over the United States and Europe after her mother married an Officer in the United States Air Force. She graduated high school from Miami Killian Senior High School in Miami, Florida, then went on to attend Vincennes University in Vincennes, Indiana, earning scholarships for herself and awards for the university's weekly newspaper during her time as Editor-in-Chief.

After college Kim began pursuing her journalism dreams by writing for a weekly newspaper in Moreno Valley, California. She eventually moved into advertising sales for newspapers in southern California and then southern Florida, coming to settle in Bend, Oregon with her husband Gordon where she worked in advertising sales for a radio station. Pursuing a part-time goal of establishing and building an interior finish carpentry business with Gordon, Kim left radio advertising sales and accepted the Marketing Director and Executive Administrative Assistant position for an equipment and tool rental company with 10 locations in Oregon. While managing the rental company's marketing efforts, Kim also spent nights and weekends "doing the books" for Clowers Carpentry. When Clowers Carpentry eventually grew and incorporated in 2000, Kim went to work for the business full time as the Office Manager.

A love of her husband, daughter, home, and all things Central Oregon, Kim enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She also enjoys reading; walking; having lunch with her girlfriends; going to movies; traveling to visit family in Florida, Panama, China, and Italy; and riding her Harley-Davidson motorcycle. She takes great pride in being well organized and giving Clowers Carpentry's clients the very best service and thorough paperwork.
