I have been fortunate enough to work in the floral industry for over 25 years, cultivating a life out of the passion and joy flowers bring. I am thrilled to be part of this amazing team of people who care so deeply about our customers, and each other. It truly is a work/family. Along with my love of flowers, I enjoy cooking for the people in my life. My husband and I produce our own cooking show on YouTube (CookingForTwo101) which began as a tool to teach my kids how to recreate the flavors of their childhood and has become a great way to pass on our family traditions for generations to come! I savor every moment I get to spend with my three amazing kids who have grown up to become thoughtful, kind, caring adults. I am so proud of them! And for a little drama and excitement, I am raising a two-year-old velociraptor, I mean German Shephard, named Blue, who keeps me on my toes!

Hey there! I'm Kendall, the cut flower buyer. I have been working here at Frank Adams since Fall 2023 and have appreciated every minute spent with our customers and the flowers. I am especially partial to purple wisteria; I would cover my whole house with it if I could! I've lived in the Portland metro area my whole life and grew up loving the outdoors. My favorite activities are kayaking and wakeboarding, but I keep myself occupied on the (many) rainy days by reading mystery novels.

I started at Frank Adams August of 2014 as the cashier. I really love the customer interaction of that position. I met many wonderful folks. I left for greener grass and found out that the grass is not greener. I returned to Frank Adams as our supply buyers assistant. What do I love about this job? Just about everything. There are challenges and successes every day. I still get to work closely with our wonderful customers. And who does not want to work around pretty things and amazing people.

My favorite flower…….. has to be Sweet Peas, the scent and delicacy always make me smile. They remind me of my grandparents, they grew them every year and would always send me home with a bunch.

Hello, my name is Christine. Although I am new to the floral industry, I am not new to the accounting / management world. For the last ten years I was an operations manager in the automotive industry here in Portland. I was born and raised in San Diego, California. When I’m not in the office I’m with my family in Scappoose or back in California as our family is still there. My hobbies include working side by side with my husband on our car projects, watching our son play baseball, and watching criminal documentaries with our sub-seven-pound Yorkshire Terrier. I have two favorite flowers, first dahlias and second sunflower.

Hello! Originally from Chicago, I have called Oregon home since 1998. I am new to the floral industry but already feel a part of the family. I work in supplies, honing my tetris skills as I stock and organize the aisles. I also provide customer service and cashier. I love all the colors and textures that fill Frank Adams and I really enjoy the daily connections with people. And then of course there are the flowers...I have a softspot for Dahlia’s.

Hello! My name is Rynn and I have been in the floral industry for just about 5 years now. For most of that time I was a designer at a small shop, but I decided recently to make the jump over to wholesale! I am a member of the Pokémon Professor Program, so when I'm not knee deep in flowers, I can be found running events on the local level and traveling across the country to staff our major events! I also have a sweet but needy little cat named Dairy that takes up a lot of my time. My favorite flower is a little unconventional, but it's Scabiosa Pods! I love how textured they are and think they're so much fun!

I have been in the floral supply industry for a little over four years. My favorite flower is the Oriental Poppy for its graphic shape and a "pop" of color. When I'm not playing with flowers I spend my time creating forest whimsy fairy crafts, enjoy woodsy dog walks, reading, gardening, natural sciences, swimming, and of course, eating.
