Eric has been part of the SOLV team for over three years, but he’s been in marketing and sales for over 18 years. His focus is helping businesses improve project management, visibility and revenue. He also handles tax form processing for small and large businesses.

Eric is serious about his job; it’s important to him that “I have the ideas and resources to help businesses operate better for their clients and employees. It’s very gratifying that I can help on both sides of the coin--internal and external.”

In his life outside of SOLV, Eric spends time with his wife of 15 years and their three kids. He loves the outdoors: golfing, running, hiking, rafting and swimming. He plays the guitar, sings, does karaoke and generally makes people laugh.

Matt manages projects and helps customers come up with ideas for using print, promotional items and apparel. He loves the “daily interactions with customers, helping them solve issues they’ve been worried about.” Every day is different: “it’s always a new project or idea I’m working on, and a new deadline to meet.” He’s been with SOLV for two years.

Off the job, you can find Matt spending time with his kids or playing sports (baseball, golf, football, basketball, you name it). He coached high school baseball for ten years, and he’s now a football official.

Elaine has been with SOLV for 15 years. She handles customer service and sales for our Coeur d’Alene office. She handles apparel, websites, promoting customer businesses, cross-selling promotionals, quoting new items and processing reorders. Her favorite part of her job? “Interacting with my clients, and getting to know them.”  For her, it’s about more than just taking orders: “when someone needs to order something they depend on my knowledge about what they need. I help guide them when they’re unsure.”

When she’s not at work, Elaine loves to hang out with her grandkids and family--especially going to their sports events. She likes to get “out of the box” enough to embarrass the grand kids. On her bucket list? To be a mascot for a day.

In a nutshell, Julie does “whatever needs to be done.” After 12 years at SOLV, she’s an Account Manager who works directly with customers; she’s also a Project Manager for the e-Commerce team, and she supports W2 Processing. When needed, she helps develop and implement processes that keeps SOLV operating at top efficiency.

Julie’s enthusiasm for her job is clear. “I love to help clients with promotional and apparel orders. It’s so fun to see how things turn out--from concept to complete.” Her favorite thing about it? “Figuring out how to make something happen--you know, SOLV-ing the problem.”

What gets Julie out of bed in the morning? Technically, her four-year-old grandson, not to mention her three children. She also loves to travel, cook, garden (lightly), play the piano and hang out at the lake with a nice picnic.

Kara is new to SOLV as an Account Manager.  She’s worked in the Sales & Marketing/Distribution for over 30 years.  What’s most rewarding is collaborating with the entire SOLV team to help customers manage, market and grow their business.    The ability to build strong relationships is the foundation of everything she does, both professionally and personally.

She’s a graduate of BSU and enjoys attending sporting events, especially football.   GO BRONCOS!  She loves the great outdoors (camping, hiking, skiing on both slopes and lakes), and is a huge fan of live music and all the other fine arts the Treasure Valley community offers.

Moira is new to the SOLV team but comes to us with 30 years of sales and account management experience.  Originally from Long Island, N.Y. she then moved to Southern California for a job she was recruited to.  She is a graduate of Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY with a B.S. in Industrial Distribution; a major which is a business-based engineering curriculum.  She has held many sales jobs in various industries including payroll services, mailing equipment  and most recently managing a book of approximately 45 large accounts worth $6 million with a “big box” company where she specialized in working with her customers on various programs including promotional products, custom print, coffee/breakroom and technology.  She left after nearly 17 years to move to the beautiful state of Idaho.   Her favorite thing is creating long lasting relationships with her customers as well as to take care of them and make sure their accounts are well satisfied with her excellent follow up skills and the setting of expectations to make sure all runs smoothly.

Outside of work, you can find Moira either on the golf course, hanging out with friends, or fulfilling her passion for dogs in a dog rescue volunteer role.  She has fostered nearly 30 dogs over the last 6 years with the rescue she continues to volunteer for in Southern California and has 3 of her own “foster failure” pups.  She recently became a volunteer for Boise Bully Breed Rescue where she gets to enjoy taking the available pups out for walks.  She also loves doing her own yardwork, reading, loves all genres of music, sports and home improvement shows!
