🔨 Meet The Team: James Strickland
This month, we’re celebrating six years with Lumber Barn for our Store Operations Manager, James Strickland! 🎉
James helps keep the store running smoothly—from training our team and managing products to making sure every customer gets the service and support they need. What he enjoys most? The variety of projects that come through our doors. No two customers—or projects—are the same!
💡 James’ tip: Don’t overlook the Milwaukee M12 line! While M18 gets a lot of attention, James says the performance of M12 is more than enough for 99% of projects.
Whether you’re comparing Milwaukee, DeWalt or STIHL, James is always happy to help you understand your options and find the right tool for the job. He also makes it a priority to help customers think through the whole project, catching those often-overlooked items that can save you a second trip to the store.
Outside of Lumber Barn, James enjoys skating in the winter, getting back into mountain biking, and spending time outdoors enjoying the beauty of New Hampshire. 🏔️🚲
His advice for any home improvement or building project? Do your research, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. We’re here to help!
Stop in and say hello to James next time you’re at Lumber Barn! 👋
