Sheri has held a career in  various positions in the hair industry for 29 years. She started as a hairstylist, then worked her way up from a single store manager to a multi-store area manager. She then became an advanced educator for a large franchise. It was then that she met her husband and went on to have 4 kids. She decided 3 years ago to own her own business where she could work part-time and spend the other time being the Program Director for Dierker's Champs. Because she has a son that has a love for the game, she got involved with the program. She fell in love with the idea of being part of an organization where their mission is to transform the lives of kids by providing the best baseball instruction possible in a positive and encouraging environment. Sheri is an active member of Foundry United Methodist Church and volunteers a great amount of her time with Foundry, Cy-Hope functions, donating her services to help people in need, and helping in her kids’ activities. She is very passionate about what Cy-Hope is doing in the community to help make a difference and feels blessed to be a part of it!
