It's time to "Get To Know Your STAFDA Board!"

Give a round of applause for Erika Scherman! Erika and MC Tool & Safety have been a STAFDA member since 2002, and even 20+ years of Erika is not enough. She brings so much greatness and positivity to any situation and we are so happy to have her on board.

She says she loves all animals and should have been a veterinarian, but if she had to pick her favorite, it would be her dog, Sage.

Some other cool things about her... She played division 2 college soccer, loves crossword puzzles, and used to own a DJ company and specialized in weddings & outdoor parties! She also said, "My first and only motorcycle was a Harley Davidson and both my boys followed in my footsteps as drummers (although they are much more talented that I was!!)"
