Tracy Lumsdon is a Material Tech Office Lead at our Greencastle facility. She has been married to her husband Jeff for 36 years. They have 3 children and 6 beautiful grandchildren, as well as a large extended family. You only need to meet Tracy once to feel the benefit of her positive attitude and warm personality! That sunny disposition comes in handy as Tracy is the main point of contact for shipping related communications. She relays information between the warehouse and the many carriers that come to the Greencastle facility each day. Being a Material Tech Office Lead requires Tracy to be a subject matter expert in routing, logistics portals and any aspect of moving goods in and out of our facility, whether by truck or by rail. She is a key communicator for both our employees and our customers. Here’s what Tracy had to say about her career at PHOENIX.
