MEET THE EYE PRO STAFF

Brenda Fishbaugh - President

Brenda Fishbaugh was born in Hartford, CT, and is a longtime resident of northeastern Indiana. Brenda earned her bachelor’s in business from Indiana University and a master’s degree in theology from Peace Theological Seminary. Brenda became the president of Eye Pro in 1991 and has traveled all over the world exhibiting at tradeshows and training salons on the importance of eye protection.

Currently, Eye Pro is the home of Wink-Ease and Viewkeepers disposable eye protection, Fresh-Ease refreshing body cloths for after tanning, and now Eye Swirls, a nourishing Hydrogel delivery system which re-hydrates skin. Brenda and Eye Pro were really impressed with the Eye Swirls product and the professionalism of owners Jackob and Jamie Andersen. With Eye Pro's strong reputation in the tanning industry and emphasis on protecting and taking care of eyes, along with Eye Swirls' interest in collaborating with an accessory manufacturer, teaming up made sense. Look for Eye Pro and Eye Swirls together at upcoming industry events and shows in the 2011 season.

Brenda and Eye Pro support several exotic animal rescue and conservation programs throughout the world. In addition to their endangered animal advocacy, Brenda, and her husband, Steve, enjoy kayaking, biking, and hiking, as well as photography.

Jackie DeWald - Office Manager

Jackie DeWald was born and raised in Northern Indiana. After earning a bachelor’s degree in marketing and management fromManchester College, she jumped into the business world with both feet. Jackie gained a lot of experience within a very short period of time in marketing, management, organizational, warehousing and shipping. She joined the Eye Pro team in September 1998 and handles all orders, shipping details and accounting – as well as anything else the customer may need. When not working, Jackie spends her time keeping up with her busy family. Having two younger daughters and a puppy, Jackie and her husband, Steve, never have a dull moment (or a quiet house). Either volunteering for school functions, running the kids to an event, scrap booking or heading to the lake for some family fun– life is very full for Jackie and she wouldn’t change it for anything!

Cristi Spilker - International Customer Service

Cristi Spilker was raised in Wabash, Indiana and is a graduate of Indiana University with a bachelor’s degree in business marketing and a minor in psychology. Cristi joined the Eye Pro team while still in college as an intern in 1997. After college Cristi worked as a Marketing Manager for a local company before starting her family. She returned back to the Eye Pro team in 2002 to work part-time and handles our international customers, promotions/contests with distributors and is back-up on all accounting. While not working, Cristi and her husband, Steve, are very busy keeping up with the kids. Having a son playing several sports and a daughter in many of her own activities, they surely have no problem staying busy.
