Kelly Ahrens

Oiginally from York, SC, Kelly moved to the Charleston area in 1995 to begin her career in education. She graduated with a degree in music education from USC, as did her husband Jon. He hired her in 1995 to be his assistant and it turned out to be the best hire he ever made! Kelly and her husband worked together for 6 years, marrying in 1998, before she stepped away to stay at home with their children for 8 years.

Those children - Jillian and Peter - are now in college! The family also includes a Boykin named Tucker.

After the kids were a little older Kelly returned to the classroom to teach preschool and elementary school Spanish at a local private school.

She is an avid reader and enjoys working out and gardening. Kelly is also involved with the Boykin Spaniel rescue group, Operation Little Brown Dog. As Carolina grads, Kelly and her husband love watching USC sports (Go Cocks!) as well as Premier League Football. She loves to cook, spend time with family and friends, and events at their new home.

As if she wasn't busy enough, she also has experience coaching baseball, soccer and swim as well as umpiring baseball and officiating swim.

Kelly is working to regain good form after a recent injury and be able to run for fun again.

When asked what she loves about working at Fleet Feet, she replied, "I love the people I work with and enjoy helping customers understand the importance of good footwear and good fit. I also really appreciate the incredible organization and thoroughness of the training program and how smoothly the company runs."

A fun/off the wall fact: Kelly sneeze in “fits” of 10-20 sneezes at a time!

We are excited that Kelly is a part of our Fleet Feet family!
