He is a proud father of the next PGA Tour sensation, Brandon. Give Ben a little KFAN, Mountain Dew and some Sunflower Seeds and he is good to go.

Cheryl Stone – Embroidery
Cheryl has been with The Teehive since day 1 and could be considered The Teehive Mother! Cheryl is an embroidery wiz who brought her expertise to the company when it was founded. In addition to being what would be the equivalent to a doctorate in embroidery, Cheryl has also acquired degrees in commercial art, graphics, and technical illustration. Her knowledge in the field is a valuable tool when assisting customers on thread colors or other artwork issues, and has been a key component in our customer's satisfaction. Cheryl has two adult children that she remains very close with, as well as her little Yorkie named Ralphie who we sometimes mistake for being her third. Outside of work Cheryl enjoys painting, gardening, and being out on the lake with friends.

Heather Yaunick – Embroidery/Sequin/Inventory/Receiving Supervisor

Before coming to The Teehive, Heather was a stay at home mom and also ran her own tailoring business from home.

Outside of work, Heather remains very busy - they own a small game farm with chicken and pigs and she also keeps busy with gardening, cooking, sewing, camping, 4-wheeling, hunting, fishing, and even kickboxing. She is not the person you want to upset.

Jim Bender – Digital Print Operator
Jim has been with The Teehive for just under a year, and in that time has taken the reigns, and handles all production of the Kornit, our state of the art digital printer here at The Teehive. Jim is another Brainerd native who after high school spent 4 year down in Minneapolis attending the University of Minnesota. Jim is a true outdoorsman who is hunting and fishing whenever he can. Jim is also an avid golfer who spends almost as much time on the course as he does printing shirts. He has seen success on the links this summer winning 4 tournaments and facetiously referring to himself as "The Most Winn ingest Golfer in the Brainerd Lakes Area" during the 2012 summer. Clearly Jim has quite the sense of humor and has been another great addition to The Teehive.  When he's not talking about how good he is at golf, Jim also enjoys playing pool at local leagues and hanging out with his friends.
