Alex started out at Sempris as an intern and impressed us so much that we offered her a full-time position even before she graduated from the University of St. Thomas. As an associate analyst, Alex performs a variety of duties including the distribution of creative assets and monitoring and reporting on website performance among other things. When Alex isn't wearing her analyst hat, you can find her partaking in CorePower yoga classes, playing with Tico, her Chihuahua, or putting her six-time national champion competitive dancer skills to work as a Minnesota Vikings cheerleader performing at charity events and all Vikings home games. That's right! We've got a professional NFL Cheerleader working amongst us! Skol Vikings.

Danielle came to us from Novus and brings to Sempris the knack for providing the best account and client management skills possible to our clients. She's worked with a lot of heavy-hitters including Sam's Club, HBO, Cox Communications and Special Olympics and is a guru in all things marketing operations, media planning and strategic development related for print, radio, and TV. She's got skills, lots of skills. She's also an awesome gardener and interior designer who has a keen eye for a special find that puts the finishing touch on a secret garden or special room. Danielle loves to travel, attend rock concerts and says she'd "give her left arm to see the Rolling Stones live". Rock on!

Without knowing it at the time, Mark was destined for a Direct Marketing career when back in 8th grade he wrote a letter to a clock company asking for a rush on parts that he needed for a clock he was building for his mom for Mother's Day. Mark's letter not only persuaded the company to rush the parts in time for the much-anticipated gift giving he also ended up getting free delivery. Fast forward many years later, with time spent at Fingerhut and now Sempris, and doing consultant work for HandTech.com and PCFlowers&Gifts.com, Mark is still at it working his writing skills but now also directing a Creative Department and challenging a fabulous team to do its best work. Add it all up and Mark figures he has over 40 years experience. When away from the office, Mark enjoys traveling, listening to vinyl (yep, he kept all his old albums), bike riding, shooting hoops and spending time with his family and grandson. Not necessarily in that order.

Art director extraordinaire... the doctor of Design, Mary specializes in all matters print and earned her street cred working for Scheels Sporting Goods, Fingerhut, Deluxe Corporation and Sempris. Mary will take an idea and turn it into a high-quality money-generating piece that gets a response every time. She's thorough and makes sure that all mailing specs are met because what good is an awesome advertisement if it's unmailable, right? While she's not putting together a super high-quality promotional piece, Mary's got mad baking skills, her Boston Crème Cupcakes are out of this world, and can be found baking and decorating designer wedding and birthday cakes or she may be working on her next award-winning arts and crafts piece. Plus, she's the mother of three ranging in ages from 13 to 21 and spends quality time with the entire family going on bike rides, hikes, and movies whenever she gets the chance.

A hands-on guy. (Paul a.k.a. Wally) is involved in every aspect of Sempris services, from new business development to list management and everything in between. A true genius when it comes to Internet and Affiliate Marketing, Paul was a key player at Digital River as he helped launch the super successful OneNetworkDirect business where he was the regional VP of Client Services. Parlaying that expertise, and what he learned about marketing while working at Fingerhut, Montgomery Ward Direct and Deluxe where he played a pivotal role, he turned to work for Sempris and adding his expertise to our already well-established executive team. When he's not involved in a "from the ground floor up" new business plan, you'll often times find Wally doing a major home remodeling project like installing a bar in his man cave or adding a deck to his house. Or, you may find him partaking in a thirst-quenching beverage at one of the local breweries in town with his lovely wife. Oh yea, Paul has a B.S. and Masters Degree from the University of Minnesota, too.
