At one year old, her littlest daughter, Genesis, is already showing signs of an aspiring dancer– which Charena will gladly show you videos to prove.

Sharon is one of the longest tenured employees at Materialogic, with 35 years of service, and has been part of the CPL team since its inception. Her experience in Client Services and understanding of Warehouse Operations helped her make a smooth transition into the Corporate Services Accounting Dept. She works with all of the internal departments, so helping everyone comes very naturally, but she gets the most satisfaction out of assisting our clients when they have questions.
Outside of work, Sharon can be found crafting or connecting with her two grown children and their fast-paced lives. She loves spending time outdoors, camping with her husband. But she is at her happiest when she is spending time with her 2 beautiful granddaughters, watching them grow right before her eyes.

Outside of work, Silvino enjoys playing soccer and cooking outdoors with his beautiful wife, three kids, and grandchildren. When he’s not at home, he’s likely boarding a plane, ready to eat, drink, and, of course, sing and dance his way through different regions of Mexico.
Stacey started working for the Lane family when Copper Peak was just a twinkle in their eye. Being able to “hand craft” a company from the ground up, in an industry she cares deeply about, has been one of the best experiences of her life.

Outside of work, Stacey is always looking for an excuse to host a dinner party, crafting with her two incredible daughters, or eagerly awaiting happy hour with her husband, Jed. She’s happiest near the water and loves shell hunting at the beach or floating down the Russian River on a warm afternoon.
If it’s being shipped out of a Copper Peak location, Sue knows about it. Since 2014, she has been in charge of the company’s shipping operations. Sue knows every bottle that has been picked, packed, and shipped-and she knows which of her team members helped make it happen. Sue’s energy and willingness to step outside the box also includes rolling up her sleeves and cleaning, decorating, and landscaping, if that’s what is needed. When Sue’s not at work, she’s most likely enjoying a platter of fresh seafood, fishing, or doing both.
