1. Customer Relations

   Harpole\'s Heartland Lodge

   Jan 2010 — Present

   I am your hard core “Country Boy” stuck in “Big City” life, probably feeling the way many of you have. Born and raised in Chicagoland, I have spent most of my life looking for an escape to the great outdoors. When I became a father, I realized just how important it is to carve out time from the craziness of city life to focus on passing on the outdoor heritage to the next generation. I started to get as much enjoyment out of teaching my children outdoor activities as I got out of doing them myself. I found myself with an overwhelming desire to introduce the great outdoors to anyone looking to experience it. After spending a lot of time at Heartland Lodge with Gary Harpole, I knew I wanted and needed to be part of his team. I now handle Customer Relations in Chicagoland and the surrounding area. My responsibility is to assist you, our valued customer, in planning and executing your perfect trip. My goal is to provide you with the personal touch and attention to detail that you deserve and won’t find anywhere else. I specialize in everything that Heartland Lodge has to offer. From hunting trips and family vacations, to corporate conventions and retreats, I will assist you through the entire process down to the last detail. See, all of us at Heartland Lodge consider ourselves one big family, and we would like you to become part of it. We don’t want to be just another voice on the phone or website on your computer, and that is why I am here, to personally assist you with your next visit to Heartland Lodge. I will sit down and meet with you to plan your next trip and handle all the details for you. So please feel free to email me or contact me directly at 81••••••08 and let me help you plan that well deserved trip back outdoors.Kirk M••••••••@Heartlandlodge.com
