Jen Stacklin
Jen Stacklin was born in Republic and grew up in Tiffin, Ohio (“Round on the end and ‘Hi’ in the middle, O-HI-O”) with her three older brothers and younger sister. She grew up tumbling in gymnastics, entertaining in synchronized swimming and camping and waterskiing at nearby Lake Erie. After graduating from Calvert High, she attended Ohio University in Athens majoring in Art History and Graphic Design.

Jen’s next bold move was to Europe, where she spent a year living and working in both London, England and Prague, Czech Republic. She returned to the U.S. and headed west to the warm shores of San Diego. She began working her tail off at CollegeClub.com becoming the creative director and eventually succumbing to the courting of a young suitor named Jim. After several years of tolerating him and a wonderful trip together to the South Pacific and Asia, she accepted his marriage proposal. She continues to do freelance graphic design and is very involved in yoga. She also smiles a lot and sings funny songs.
Rita Stacklin
Rita grew up in Bismark and met Joe when they were in high school history class. They’ve been married for 41 years. An extremely loving mother to her five children, Rita is also a doting grandmother to her three grandkids. As an accountant, Rita is a whiz with numbers and a darn good water skier, enjoying the calm waters of Lake Erie. She also plays a mean game of horseshoes.

Joe Stacklin
Joe, or “Joe Tool” as his license plate says, can fix a car faster than you can describe what’s wrong with it. From running “Stacklin's Gulf” in Republic, Ohio to working as an auto mechanics teacher for high school and college students, Joe is in the know. A big practical joker, Joe is known to fool granddaughter Olivia with the tried and true “got your nose” gag. Joe and Rita are optimistic folks, as evidenced by their unwavering support of their beloved Cleveland Indians.

Dave and his family live in Hopewell, Virginia. Dave served for 21 years with the US Army and met his wife Cheryl while they were both serving in Germany. Christopher graduates high school in June 2004 and Leigh Anne is in the 10th grade.

Dennis Stacklin
Dennis, or ‘Big D’ lives in Stillwater, Oklahoma but is always in transit. Dennis and his friend, Nelson, own and run Red Dirt Communications, a mobile satellite truck. Living in the middle of the country allows him to get to any major event (everything from planned spectacles such as the Super Bowl, Olympics and elections, to unforeseen events such as natural disasters and other catastrophes) in a couple of days. Dennis can make friends with just about anyone and is always smiling.
