Leadership

"Witty" and "softhearted" are two words used to describe Christine. You can always count on Christine to make a situation funny.

"Friendly," and "genuinely concerned" are a few words used to describe Randy Fenton, son of the late Bill Fenton.

In 1994, Lynn Elizabeth Fenton Erb became the first of the family's fourth generation to join the company's management team. She began in sales & marketing and was responsible for developing Fenton's collector newsletter, Glass Messenger. After working in this department for several years, she moved into the manufacturing area of the factory, which she enjoyed.

The son of Frank Muhleman Fenton and Elizabeth Ripley Fenton, Mike was born July 8, 1945. Between 1963 and 1973, Mike attended the College of Wooster and Marietta College. He also served in the Navy from 1967 to 1971. He was stationed aboard an ocean-going tug home-ported in San Diego, and had two, ten-month Western Pacific tours.

Nancy Gollinger Fenton started at Fenton Art Glass Company in 1982 as an assistant in the sales department and as merchandising coordinator. She was the director of design, a fitting position since Nancy loves keeping up with the colors and trends in home design. She was responsible for selecting new Fenton colors and directing the process of developing new products. This role continued as the company added the jewelry making division.

Scott grew up working at Fenton, spending many summers and holidays working throughout the company. At 16, Scott worked in the gift shop dusting shelves and giving tours. then, on to inventory control, shipping, packing, hot metal, and finally Scott worked for his father Tom Fenton, VP of manufacturing, completing many different projects as he learned the many facets of glassmaking.

As president of Fenton Glass and grandson of company founder Frank L. Fenton, George worked closely with other Fenton family members involved in all aspects of the company. He now heads the Fenton jewelry division.
