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!

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.

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.

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 industry for about 30 years, most recently the owner and lead designer at Fleurish, The Art of Flowers in Wasilla, Alaska. I loved it but the Pacific Northwest was calling me! The iris is my favorite flower. I think they are beaurtiful! My husband brought me wild iris on our honeymoon 34 years ago and I have loved them ever since. I also love anything unique and textural like amaranthus! When I am not playing with flowers you can find me playing outside with my husband and Doodle Dog "kinley", or with my kids. I love hiking, climbing, skiing, mountaineering and pretty much anything outdoors. .

I have worked in the floral industry for over 20 years, coming from a family background in the industry. For 15+ years I was a designer with a focus on avant garde and bespoke floral design and I absolutely love to work on large scale floral installations, events and anything out of the design ordinary that allows me to express my creativity and push the design boundaries. My top 3 favorite flowers (no, I couldn't pick only 1) would be dahlias, anthuriums and protea, because there is so much variety in color, size and texture. They're all such a statement flower with a strong presence! In my personal time I train full-time in bodybuilding, enjoy long nature walks, cook up a storm in my kitchen and dote lovingly on my 2 darling cats, Lakshmi and Quanah.

I've been working in the floral industry for the last 5 years as a florist and retail floral manager at a high-end local grocery store. My favorite flower is a dahlia because of how many varieties there are, I love color! When I'm not playing with flowers you can usually find me crocheting, frolicking through local gardens, and hanging out with my husband and our two pugs!.

Jordyn Long

I have been in the floral industry for 9 years working in a combination of floral and plant retail! I got my first floral job back in high school and have hoped around different places since then before diving into the wholesale world at Frank Adams. My favorite flower is the dahlia because of how many different varieties are out there! Swan Island Dahlia Farm is one of my main weekend outings during the summer. I also craft a lot! I love making crocheting and macrame! I am also a big movie lover and can almost always be found crafting while watching a movie when I am not at work.

Callie Valente
Cut Flower Assistant 

I have been in the floral industry for three years and counting, most recently as a lead designer! It's too hard to pick one favorite flower, but right now I am in love with sweet peas and Candlelight roses because they look like they are glowing and remind me of home. I love to crochet, watercolor, bake, play games and travel! I also spend loads of time with my cat Clementine!

Brandy Merriman
Cut Flower Assistant

I have been in the floral industry for 2 years and counting! I am well versed in keeping a flower shop running; from the front counter to making fun bouquets, to processing to maximize the beauty and longevity of cut flowers! My favorite flower is the ranunculus. It's a delicate and daring flower with endless color possibilities; they add charm and texture with packed plush petals. It's lovely for any occasion. When I am not here at Frank Adams, I like to get crafty. I find new ways to upcycle and am always looking for a learning experience. I also thoroughly enjoy long walks to the kitchen for snacks in my matching pjs!

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.
