Our Team

Jen Suhr

Store Manager

Jen is the full-time manager at our Monticello branch. She has been with Lending Hand since April of 2011 and loves it. She started out as a part-time lender to help out while another employee was on maternity leave but then was moved to store manager later in 2011.  Before she started here she worked at Pizza hut for over 10 years.  The thing she likes the most about working at Lending Hand is the people she works with. She likes Lending Hand’s friendly and welcoming work environment. Everyone is easy going and easy to talk with if there is a problem. She loves the customers she has gotten to know, and also loves the fact that customers can trust our company to do what we say we will.   

Greg Ellis

Store Manager

Greg is the full-time manager at our branch in Portage, Indiana. He has over 20 years experience in the payday loan industry. He began his career with Check into Cash of Northern Indiana but was unsure of his future when the owner decided he wanted to sell the business. He then found out Art was in the process of getting his loan license so he called him to see if he was interested in purchasing the business in Portage. When Lending Hand opened in Portage on February 1st 2008, we already had Greg, who continued working in Portage and has been one of the most valuable assets to the company. He loves the freedom that Art and Alleigh give him to run the Portage store.  Because of his vast knowledge and experience in the payday loan industry they know they can trust his judgment fully.  Greg is married and has a son and loves spending time with his family more than anything. He is also a lifelong golfer who takes pleasure in spending time on the course.
