Along with the MB Stone team, Denise aims to create a culture of value, respect, and passion that ensures unparalleled customer service, innovative products, and education to preserve and maintain the beauty of the stone. Denise has written blog posts and articles explaining sealers to educate others on their true purpose and limitations. She also partnered with Geologist Karin Kirk in creating the first-ever Stone ID kit. Over the years Denise has been a huge part of product design and testing. Most recently, she helped MB Stone create one of the only marble-safe hand soap. Now part owner of MB Stone, Denise has made it a point to give women the recognition they deserve. Over the years she made it known that she can be a big part of this male-dominated industry. She has brought many women into the industry who have gained so much knowledge over the years working with her. She expands her knowledge daily and extends that knowledge to her employees and other women like herself.
