Shari is responsible for the design and details of the 808 infrastructure. She received her secondary education and Biology degree from Drury University and math certification from the University of Arkansas. She taught 7th grade math and science in Bentonville until she homeschooled her three children through 9th grade. Shari’s love of education now has her serving on the Thaden School Board of Directors since 2016. Having spent every summer with her maternal grandparents on their farm in SW Missouri and raising her children on JAC’s Ranch, Shari sees the 808 as a continuing legacy for the next generation. The 808 is not just a business, but a place of retreat and recreation for family and friends with river activities, horseback riding, sundowners, and exploring the land in the mules. Shari loves spending time with her grandchildren and family, serving at their local church, gardening, horseback riding, and traveling with Lamar.
