Lori Lyons

Office Manager

After graduating college, Lori took an entry-level corporate job and, while working her way through the ranks, earned her MBA.  Some 19 years later she found herself well established in the corporate world, managing the Import/Export department of Hasbro Games (formerly Milton Bradley Company).
As time went on, Lori realized she wanted more from her career.  She left Hasbro to pursue other interests that had taken a back seat for a long time.  She studied Interior Design at Bay Path College and began developing her artistic ability by taking drawing and oil painting classes.
Lori suspected she might have found her perfect job when she responded to an ad for an office manager placed by Bruce Coldham, Architect.  After meeting Bruce, Lori knew that, with her years of management experience and her interest in nature, art and design, this was where she belonged.  Fortunately, Bruce agreed.  That was December, 1998.  
Lori has been with C&H Architects for over twenty years.  She & her rescue dog live in an updated 200 year old farmhouse.  She enjoys painting & antiquing, hiking, biking & gardening, and spending time at her family’s lake home in the Berkshires.
