It’s a new year, folks, and we’ve got some new faces at L&P! To kick off 2020, we’re introducing you to several of our recent hires and their thoughts on the year ahead.
Meet Samantha Doubledee, a Controller who supports our Project Office within Marketing + Creative.
What brought you to Leggett?
I was previously employed at a local non-profit. However, when I learned about this position I knew there would be so much opportunity to grow within a corporate atmosphere. I’ve been challenged since my first day and have already taken on additional responsibilities in the Project Management Office. I’m excited for my future here at L&P.
What’s something surprising about you?
I married my high school sweetheart. It’s crazy to think we have been together 17 years. We have 2 amazing kids, and love to travel together. We have a bucket list of destinations, including a trip to visit his family overseas this year — it will be a great way to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary!
What’s your biggest goal for 2020?
2020 is the year of ME! I’m looking forward to taking time to get back on track mentally and physically. I love having a creative outlet and have been diving into my Cricut projects. I also have weight-loss goals, a travel wish list, and other goals that focus on being a better version of myself as a wife and mom.
We’d like to thank all the employees who attended this morning’s Town Hall Meeting — both at Corporate and around the globe via live broadcast. We look forward to an exciting future at L&P!
Last week, we shared a behind-the-scenes shot of our ribbon cutting ceremony during Las Vegas Market. Here’s the official photo!
Congrats to our team for a beautifully remodeled showroom and a successful week at Market!
The Las Vegas Market happens twice per year to exhibit what’s new and trending in the furniture and home décor market. While many of our employees attend, today’s #EverydayLeggettLife showcases a few scenes from Market through the eyes of Product Manager Don Fifer.

“Me with John Zanatta, our Director of Sales. Yes, we dressed alike!” Don Fifer, Product Manager, Sales. [Las Vegas, Nevada, USA]
“A beautiful sunrise on my way into the Market. It was such a great few days!” Don Fifer, Product Manager, Sales. [Las Vegas, Nevada, USA]
It’s a new year, folks, and we’ve got some new faces at L&P! To kick off 2020, we’re introducing you to several of our recent hires and their thoughts on the year ahead.
Meet Jeremy Ward, Advanced Programmer Analyst in Information Technology at L&P.
What brought you to Leggett?
I was a Senior Software Engineer at Walmart for about 5 years. However, I moved to Joplin when I married my wife two years ago and I’d been making the long commute to Bentonville every day since. When I saw the job posting for this position, I knew it would be a great fit for my experience — plus it added about 3 hours back into my day!
What’s something surprising about you?
I own two small businesses.
My company 458 Digital provides photography and video production services, mostly for commercial clients. I create marketing content for local businesses, but I’ve also worked on location with the production crew for TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting and provided production work for several Warner Bros. movies.
Warden Tactical, my other business, provides NRA sanctioned training for people in the four-state area — including concealed carry permitting, firearm safety, competition shooting, and private lessons. It’s a great way to share the knowledge I gained as a Police Officer for the Air National Guard.
What’s your biggest goal for 2020?
I just hope to learn as much as I can about the company and my role in it. Part of that includes building upon the technical skills needed for this position — for example, I plan to complete advanced training in C#, which is a newer language for me.
Say hi to some of our L&P team attending Las Vegas Market this week! Pictured here is the ribbon cutting for our beautifully remodeled showroom.
