Bio
Patty Knepler
Amy and I work closely to share with the world why Springfield, Illinois is the perfect tourist destination. I have never met a more positive person. Her emails even make me smile. If you want to work with someone who lifts people up and brings an energetic vibe to any room, Amy is your gal!

I have known Amy dating back to when she worked at The Inn @ 835, prior to her work at the SCVB and now Scheels. Springfield Business Journal worked with Amy on several events at 835 and she was outstanding to work with. I have maintained contact with her since as she is a resourceful person to know in Springfield. The company she works for, Scheels, has been a fantastic addition to our community.
