Tina is a "Mompreneur", who started EmBraced In Comfort in 2009, in response to her daughter's need for more comfortable and functional undergarments to wear under her Scoliosis Brace. Tina has a Bachelor's Degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering from the University of Michigan, and, prior to starting EIC, she worked with companies around the world to implement effective manufacturing strategies. Tina also learned to sew at a young age, working alongside her Mother, Cynthia (dec), who had her Masters in Apparel Design and Textiles. Tina's Father was an Engineer. EmBraced In Comfort is a perfect marriage of both sewing and Engineering skills, as well as part of Tina's mission to help others who have gone through what she and her family have gone through in their Scoliosis journey. Tina has been married to Andrew, who is a middle school and high school principal, athletic director, and varsity coach, since 1998. They have two children - Cynthia, who was diagnosed with Scoliosis at age 6 and Vaughn, who was diagnosed at age 5. Andrew also has Scoliosis and was diagnosed when he was 16. In addition to managing her business, Tina is a full-time student at Wartburg Theological Seminary, where she is pursuing a Masters in Divinity, on track to become an ordained ELCA Lutheran Pastor. She also plays violin, keyboard, sings and is active in the community theater, having played various roles both onstage and as a Director. In addition, she has her black belt in Tang Soo Do.

Jennifer has been with EIC since October of 2016. She brings years of sewing experience to the team and is a collector of vintage sewing machines. Jennifer has two beautiful daughters and has been married to EIC’s “hunky handyman”, Bryan, for over 25 years. She’s also been a Girl Scout leader for many years. Jennifer is an incredibly hard worker, with a memory of steel. She keeps things running smoothly, keeping your orders organized and moving through the workshop in a timely manner. She has an excellent eye for detail and a heart of gold. She keeps us entertained with witty stories and is our “resident Mom”, because she has great advice about nearly everything and is a great listener. She loves that she can make a difference in her job, stitching comfort into nearly every garment that goes out the door.
Debra is our resident Jester. She has a Masters in Puns and a PhD in Sarcasm. She has been with EIC since October of 2016. She keeps us on our toes and helps us to remember to not take life too seriously. Deb has a husband Rick of over 30 years, one son serving our country in the Marines, and one son in heaven. Her blood runs red, white, and blue. She also has a business designing and making jewelry and a budding talent in photography! Although she likes to joke around, Deb is a seriously hard worker and she literally runs all day to keep things moving through the shop. She has her hand in nearly every order that goes out the door and will pitch in with whatever is needed, including special projects for our outside production clients and our social media content. She juggles tasks just like a good jester would juggle in the Queen’s court and life around EIC would be extremely boring without her!

Andrew is the acting CFO of EIC, and, although he is less involved in the day-to-day, he still plays an active consulting role when needed.

Andrew's hobbies include computer gaming, weight lifting, and coaching all sports (currently Girls Varsity Basketball, football, and e-sports). He also excels at cooking Tina dinner when she's super busy (always) and is master dishwasher at casa Beauvais.
