Lucy

Lucy is part of a magnificent herd of children who all inherited the family tendency to be jacks of all trades (even if masters of none).

This might mean she’s had less of a career and more of a Series of Interesting Events, but it translates pretty well into fulfilling her designated role in almost every group as The Mom Friend. Formally, she’s been trained in English and history; informally, she knows a little bit about everything from construction (and destruction) to lutherie. When she’s not writing oil reports, Lucy can usually be found reading or writing a new book, turning curtains into costumes, chasing chickens, or eating bread.

Katie

Born and raised in Fort Wayne, Katie would love to tell you that she used to live in San Francisco. She is working on not mentioning it so often. She’s been a professional gift wrapper, a college instructor, a digital marketing copywriter, and a project manager, and now she is happy to be able to say she’s a full-time writer, aka her dream job. Katie has been a writer since she knew what words were, and stories and storytelling have always had her attention. Luckily, the other things she likes—cats, goat cheese, and fancy lattes—are good companions to settling down with a story, whether that’s a soap opera or a novel. Other than her two cats, Rupert and Ned, the other love of Katie’s life is her 1870s gablefront Craftsman/bungalow-style house in West Central.

Olivia

Olivia earned her degree in video production and screenwriting from Ball State University. While there, she founded and served as president for the Cardinal Aces, BSU’s very first drone club, and studied abroad in Korea for advanced video production. She holds her own commercial drone pilot’s license. She also pursued a minor in Japanese, which she has been studying for nearly a decade. This took her to Japan in 2019. Aside from traveling, Olivia also loves film – probably more than anyone she knows. Particularly horror. In fact, she just finished acting as assistant director and producer for her very first feature-length slasher film. When not on set (or looking for a set job) Olivia chips away at her dark fantasy novel or playing D&D.

Jason C

Before coming to work answering phones and setting up samples at Blackstone, Jason C spent 5 years remodeling spaces for his dad’s company. Jason didn’t give us a lot to work with for his bio, besides the fact that he speaks Spanish, he’s a dog guy, and he’s into Anime and Manga. So let’s play two lies and a truth, shall we? Only one of these things is an actual name of a dog Jason has: Tobby, Dobby, Knobby. (You’ll have to call him here at Blackstone to find out if your guess is correct!).

Arthur

Arthur was a student worker in the lab at Marion University before joining the lab at Blackstone. When he’s not putting his degree to good use, Arthur likes to read (holla Terry Pratchett!), runs a D&D campaign, and tries to wean his cat Blackbeard off people food and cat treats.

Ethan

Before joining Blackstone Ethan worked with animals in Australia, but relocated to marry his true love. He’s survived encounters with man-eating sharks, deadly spiders, venomous snakes, something called a “stinging tree,” and a malevolent seagull who stole all his chips. Since moving, he enjoys great barbeque, great lakes, and free coffee refills.

Augustia

Augustia holds a Bachelor of Arts in theatre performance and writing. She spent a couple years after graduation hopping around between food service jobs and the occasional seasonal position before finally landing the coveted Industry Job here at Blackstone.

When she’s not writing your report comments, you may find her jamming out to Hozier and mid-10s punk rock, reading a book, (cleverly avoiding) writing her own book, or on stage in a local production. She enjoys hiking, stargazing, baking, long walks in Eagle Marsh, and Lake Michigan beach days. Above all, she loves spending quiet nights at home (or any time anywhere else) with her husband and their four cats.

Eileen

Eileen’s got a lot going on. She’s a photographer who owned her own business for 10 years, and presumably took a lot of pictures of her 4 kids during that time. Eileen loves being at the lake and fishing, but she’s happiest at the beach. She knows quite a lot about engines, having helped her husband do work on their Jeep Wrangler and VW GTI. When she’s not busy with any of the above, she might be listening to true crime, wrangling her 5 cats or Labrador puppy, OR she might be the friendly voice you hear on the phone when you call Blackstone.

Sarah

Sarah is a very proud mother of her only son and is a family-oriented person. She is creative and enjoys travelling, architecture, drawing, and anything creative. When she’s not playing with her puppy, she’s painting, shopping, or constructing something for the house.
