Meet Pat Schneider: Assistant Marketing Director and A Little of Everything Else

If you ask Pat what her job title is, she’ll tell you “Assistant Marketing Director,” but Pat wears many hats at Ayers - sometimes literally, as she likes to dress up in silly costumes when she gives presentations to our System Design Specialists. In addition to handling our direct mail and email campaigns and managing our events, Pat handles all of our print materials and has finally broken everyone of the dreaded “make a copy of a copy” habit. She’s also been known to show up with gardening gloves and spruce up the flower bed out front, or reorganize the supply closet. She also takes it upon herself to create signs that welcome new employees and direct visitors around the building. I’m waiting for the day that I walk into our shared office and she has labeled everything on my desk.

My point is, Pat goes above and beyond to make our customers’ and her coworkers’ lives easier. When you receive a System Design Specialist’s biography in your premailer, or see our booth at a home show, it’s because of Pat, and we appreciate her for it.

Pat is a diehard Spartan - all three of her daughters attended MSU - and she regularly attends MSU basketball games when the rest of us are huddled up in our houses. Pat is also a twin, and discovered a few months after he was hired that our IT Manager Mike is a distant cousin.

She and her husband Matt live in Lansing with their cat, Macy, who hates Pat for a few days every year when she is subjected to a Lion Cut.

Thanks for everything you do, Pat!
