SUE DURFEE
Project Manager
TRAVEL BUFF. SPORTS ENTHUSIAST. SOCIAL BUTTERFLY.
Sue’s first job with m2w was a tailgate event sampling program at a 2003 Vikings game in a blizzard!

WENDEE PENNINGTON
Office Manager & Bookkeeper
DEDICATED FACEBOOK FARMER. LOVING GRANDMOTHER.
Wendee landed at m2w to fill the spot of a part time Office Administrator. As m2w grew like weeds in my front yard, Wendee stepped up in her position to include all aspects of an Office Manager. She not only manages the Office, she is also responsible for all general accounting and payroll. Though it’s sometimes difficult having virtual offices, Wendee manages to keep all clerical aspects of m2w in “checks & balances”. She is definitely one of many priceless assets of m2w.
Wendee uses her keen sense of “Customer Service” experience as a key to keeping the Customer happy.
