Merissa Thorp
With a Bachelor's degree in Sales and Marketing from the University of Toledo, Merissa has built a successful 12 year career in the paint industry, excelling in both sales and management. She thrives on creating exceptional customer experiences, ensuring each client feels valued and catered to - like they are having the red carpet rolled out for them.
Outside the Waterhouse Showroom, family takes center stage. Merissa cherishes quality time with their husband and two children. To maintain a healthy balance, she dedicates time to CrossFit workouts, and enjoys unwinding with her husband watching sporting events.
Julie Williams
Maumee Supply and its showroom, Waterhouse bath & kitchen studio, have been owned by the Williams family since opening their doors in 1953. Julie is the third generation of that very family, beginning her long-standing role in 2003, working during breaks and summers while studying at Ohio University. She graduated in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in business and has been a leading Showroom Specialist ever since. Julie’s knowledge of the industry, the vendors, and the products we offer is unmatched. Her confident manner with clients immediately puts them at ease, allowing them to ask questions and make informed choices, leading to amazing spaces they can be proud of.
A long-time gymnast and a lifetime fitness buff, it’s hard to slow Julie down. Multi-tasking is her superpower, and her passion is a great love for all living things – but mostly for dogs, specifically, her own rescue mix, Sully.
Maren Tregillis
Maren Tregillis has been an integral member of the Waterhouse Showroom Team since 2021. An Interior Design graduate from Kent State, Maren is a 20-year veteran in the tile and flooring industry. She came to us with glowing recommendations from contractors, builders and both residential and commercial customers and she has never disappointed! Her attention to the tiniest detail impresses us daily and she has the innate ability to make her customers feel instantly at ease.
When she’s not in the Waterhouse showroom teaching her customers everything there is to know about designing the perfect shower system, Maren enjoys whipping up delightful meals in the kitchen, playing the piano, and listening to every genre of music under the sun (with 80s throwbacks being a favorite!)
Jennifer Garland
With a background in business management and marketing from Lourdes University, I bring over 6 years of experience in real estate and new construction to the Waterhouse bath & kitchen studio team. I'm passionate about exceeding customer expectations and ensuring a smooth and positive experience for everyone I work with.
Outside of work, I enjoy an active lifestyle that includes hiking, camping, kayaking, swimming, and kickboxing. I'm also a dedicated animal lover and foster dogs whenever possible. When I'm not volunteering my free time at the Victory Center, you can find me spending quality time with my amazing family – 4 kids and 4 grandchildren who keep me young at heart!
