Charlie Flynn

Charlie's middle name is Francis King, so that
sort of answers a question that comes up a
lot. He's a husband, a father of two, has a
shoebox full of Grateful Dead ticket stubs, and
is committed to the New Orleans Jazzfest and
Youth Hockey, not necessarily in that order.
If you Google Charlie Flynn, you'll find a picture
of a neighborhood bar in Boston. We're not
sure what that means. Other than that, he says,
"Furniture is my life." charlie@francisking.com

Lynn Diedrich

Lynn's background in sales includes a 14
year stretch in the fashion apparel industry.
She's been on both sides of the retail/wholesale
divide in home furnishings and interior design,
including buying trips down south and in
Europe. Lynn and her husband are the center of
an extended family that now includes
grandchildren and a lot of traveling and
celebrating. Lynn enjoys a glass of wine, but
she's also been known to disappear at certain
sacred times for her cardio group fitness fix.
It's best to stay out of her way at these times.

Mary Carl

Mary loves the challenge of searching for the
impossible-to-find piece. She does have a life
outside of furniture, as her husband and
daughter will attest, but she's been in the
industry for over twenty years (not counting
growing up in her family's furniture store).
Ultimately, though, she's the kind of person who
will check the labels under your cushions if you
let her into your house. She really likes furniture.

Petra Engen

Petra is pronounced with a long "e," like "Peter."
She loves her talkative six year old daughter
and her cats, but they're not usually in the
showroom. Fortunately, her other love is
antiques, and most of our product lines lovingly
refer to historical traditions of furniture design.
Petra has a four year interior design degree,
but works mostly behind the scenes, keeping
things organized and moving. She's always
willing to stop for lunch, though.

Kali Peterson

Kali is the newest addition to the FK family. We got
to know her when she helped us out part time while
pursuing her Interior Design degree. After graduation,
she agreed to come onboard full time. Kali is a painter
and is passionate about the creative process. She says
she's the showroom elf, getting first crack at newly arriving
packages of accessories and inventory. She has admitted
to a chocolate weakness, with which we have
no problem here.
