Lisa Long started her professional life with a degree in Costuming from U.C. Davis. She costumed for a frugal year, and then she got a real job. After working in retail, purchasing, production planning and operations management, she opened a box store with her mom in 1987. She has been happily notarizing, packing, shipping and book keeping ever since.
In 2005 Lisa and her friend Jan started Lightsmith Design, a landscape lighting design and installation business. Two years later Jan bought out Lisa’s mom in the box store, making Jan and Lisa double-partners. Lisa and her husband Dave recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. They live in Sacramento with their four cats, three sons, two hamsters and one dog in a charming old money-pit of a home. In their spare time they…..sleep. TJ Michelakos
TJ Michelakos has been with Carmichael Box Shop for almost 5 years. He was a great help in transitioning the shop with the new owners in 2007. TJ was born and raised in Fair Oaks, and he graduated from Del Campo High School. He is currently working on his Bachelors degree in Art History from Sacramento State University.
Jan Sangl
In April 2007, Jan Sangl made the move from a career at The Big Orange Box, The Home Depot, to a recycled cardboard box, when she bought the Carmichael Box Shop with her business partner Lisa Long. This was the perfect opportunity to package Jan’s customer service background with eco-friendly business practices. After 30 years working for corporations, such as Macy’s, May Department Stores, and The Home Depot, it is exciting to be able to think and work “outside the box”. It is also an opportunity to work with her sister, Candace Childs, who manages the Carmichael Box Shop
A native of Seattle, Washington, Jan holds two bachelors degrees, one in Business Administration, and one in Textiles, from Washington State University. When she is not working in the shop she enjoys spending time traveling with her husband, Dan Mincher, and developing LightSmith Design, a landscape lighting design business, as well as floorplans, etc., an internet service for real estate professionals.
