Paulette has been the firm’s office manager longer than see wants to remember. She started out working part time for Larry when their children were younger and then full time as they grew up. She is in charge of all the daily administrative functions with the firm, doing the bookkeeping and paying the bills for Allegent Group, keeping things organized within the office, working with Quick Books and working extra hard during tax season. She helps our clients with any questions they might have or will get someone within the firm who can assist them.
Paulette loves playing golf several times per week and on occasion will even have a lower score than Larry. She enjoys taking boxing, working out with her trainer, and swimming. When she has time to relax she is either reading, knitting, or going to Clipper games. Yes, Clippers! Her son and daughter-in-law, Jason and Taryn, gave her a beautiful grandson, Trevor, who was born November 25, 2007. One year later her daughter and son-in-law, Tracy and Mark, gave her a gorgeous granddaughter, Maddi, that was born December 8, 2008. Needless to say her life is very busy these days.
