Craftours (2025)

16/07/2025

Nancy works very hard keeping not only our Craftours bookkeeping in order, but she also assists Jim with his personal financial accounting as well.

One of the things Nancy appreciates most about working here? The people. She shared that working with Jim has been a truly positive experience “He’s generous and family-oriented, and always reminds us: ‘Family first.’” ❤️

When she’s not crunching numbers, you’ll find Nancy in her happy place: relaxing by the koi pond in her backyard with her two dogs or spending time with her husband and daughters during one of their frequent game nights. 🎲

She dreams of a safari in Kenya, and loves a peaceful escape to the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. 🏞️ Her favorite travel companion? Her dogs, of course. 🐾

We’re grateful for Nancy’s dedication and the kindness she brings to our team every day.
