Deb is part owner, and the chief financial officer of Western Distributing Company, overseeing all the financial actions of the company. Because she has been with Western since day one, she has had every single job title along the way. From receptionist, to bookkeeper, inventory control, service, delivery, warehouse, and owner, she has seen, and done it all.

Deb is from North Dakota and graduated from Mayville State College with a bachelor’s degree in business and minored in Real Estate and Accounting.

Deb’s “better half” and fiancé is Mike, and she has one daughter, Lexi, who is 18. On the weekends in the summer, you can find them at Devils Lake. Deb also loves traveling. She is obsessed with all things Disney and traveling to Disney is one of her favorite vacation destinations.

Deb says she loves all the people she has met through Western, whether it be people in the charitable industry, manufacturers, or employees. One of her favorite memories is when electronic pull tabs were passed through legislation. Deb says they worked some long, tough days making sure the industry had a good product to offer the charities of North Dakota. Deb says it’s been fun to see the changes in gaming over the past 30 years.
