Jeff is a native Southern Californian that started to fall in love with the Pacific Northwest during his years in Eugene; while getting a Sociology degree from the University of Oregon. A two-year stretch in San Francisco followed, but the pull of the Northwest was too strong. A move to Portland felt right.

Twelve years later, the city hasn’t lost its hold on him. Everything that the city has to offer culturally very much reflects his lifelong interests and passions. An admittedly ultra-urban dweller, he still very much appreciates the sheer natural beauty of the city that makes Portland living so balanced.

By joining Amanda in forming this company, his drive to solidify a sustainable future in the place he loves while working with a business partner that shares the same values is a dream come true. One that he’s grateful for every day.

Heaven joined the team here at Normine Lombard as our Administrative Assistant. She wants to gain work and life experience that she can then apply later on. Though she describes herself as shy—she wants to meet new people, build relationships, and enhance her communication skills to be the best team member she can be.

Heaven recently graduated high school and decided it was as good a time as ever to dip her toes into the workforce! When she isn’t in the office, you may find her lounging in the sun with a snack and (hopefully) a cup of kombucha in hand! If not, it’s possible she may be curled up somewhere warm with a good book, listening to a podcast, or petting her cat.

William is an experienced, growth-minded Talent Sourcer with outstanding people skills. He brings Normine Lombard an understanding of various industries, enabling him to collaborate with our business partners successfully. William strives to fully understand all aspects of client role requirements to deliver the best candidates for a variety of positions.

With a passion for art and nature he spends a good part of his free time painting or exploring nature with a variety of outdoor activities. William focuses a lot of his art on drawing and coloring mandalas using a variety of art mediums. If William doesn’t have a pen or paintbrush in hand, you would probably find him hiking the various beautiful trails around the pacific northwest, searching out new places to hike, or on adventures with friends in the lesser-known corners of the Pacific Northwest.
