The GJM administrative team is growing. We’re pleased to welcome Lindsey Stoots to the team, and to the firm. Lindsey came on board in late November as an administrative assistant. We hope you enjoy getting to know her in this fun Q&A.

Why did you choose the accounting industry? I was referred by my friend Molly Lambert about a potential position.

What do you like best about accounting? I don’t have a ton of knowledge about accounting but so far I like the structure and atmosphere.

Are you from the Toledo area originally? If not, where are you from? I grew up in Bowling Green, moved to Florida when I was 14, and moved back to the area when I was about 19. Now I am living in the Perrysburg/Rossford area.

What do you like about living in Northwest Ohio? I like the small town living and the changing seasons.

Where did you go to school? I went to BGSU for about a year before dropping out, majoring in Visual Communication Technology.

Anything you’d like to share about past work/school history? My previous position was with the Adult Probation Department in Wood County.

Do you have any pets, hobbies, family you’d like to mention? I have 2 boys, Landyn (9) and Jax (4), and 3 bonus kids from my boyfriend Matt; Bella (19), Lexie (16) and Waylon (7). and an English Mastiff named Beau.

How do you like to spend your free time? In my free time I like to take naps, go to the gym and lift, run outside, have a drink at my favorite bar the Village Idiot.

Favorite book? Favorite movie? Book: Sharp Objects. Movie: Midsommar, also anything horror or thriller.

Are you involved in any community organizations, do any volunteer work? I play on a women’s soccer team in Maumee.

What is something people may be surprised to find out about you? I have 6 siblings, my youngest sister is only 4 years old and younger than my own kids!

Anything else you’d like to add? I love fishing and being outside. I’m a Michigan fan (Go Blue). I am usually busy going to my kids’ sporting events.

Welcome to the team, Lindsey, and to the GJM family!
