Lori has been with Hatch for 28 years and has spent the majority of her career interfacing with clients to develop innovative workforce strategies to meet the demands of the changing employment market.  Lori is passionate about helping businesses in SE Wisconsin grow by taking time to understand their business and their culture.  Lori is a graduate of Marquette University and continues to build her network with MU alumni in the area.

Henry was born in Minnesota. He was a stand-out at birth; the only boy in a family with seven sisters. He learned very quickly how to assert himself to always get his own way. Tragically, his mother passed away when he was only three weeks old, and he was taken into foster care with the Minnesota Wisconsin Collie rescue. Before he could even get checked out by a vet, the ink still wet on his paperwork with the collie rescue, he learned he would be moving to Wisconsin. He was adopted by the Malett family.

Henry currently lives in Hartford, WI where he protects and takes care of 23 acres of land with his two siblings, Taz and Bear. In his free time, you will find Henry guarding the property, chasing his siblings, challenging himself with puzzles, WWF wrestling where he always comes out on top, showing off his speed and grace with non-stop zoomies, and raising a raucous to communicate his every need. The youngest of three, he has decided he loves being the baby of the family. One of the perks he has enjoyed is meeting all his co-workers and taking many trips to the Hatch office to train with them. He has over 4.5 years of experience working at Hatch. Sniffing out talent, delivering cheer to the staff and prancing through the office greeting new guests as they arrive are a few of his unique talents. If you swing by our offices, we hope you have a chance to say hi to our Chief Morale Officer, Henry!

James recently shifted career paths and has a passion for helping others do the same thing. He started as a recruiter at Hatch in 2024 and enjoys nothing more than helping folks find meaningful employment. He loves Milwaukee and has deep connections with this city. Prior to his time at Hatch, he spent my life as a theatre professional working as an actor, director, playwright, fight choreographer, educator, and as the Artistic Director of The Bunny Gumbo Theatre Company.

After years as a touring musician, Nick felt the call to something new. In 2022, he made the leap into staffing and hasn’t looked back since. What started as a career shift quickly became a passion, as Nick discovered his love for connecting with people from all walks of life. Building genuine relationships and helping candidates find roles where they can thrive is what drives him every day. For Nick, it’s more than just filling positions — it’s about creating lasting connections that support both people and businesses alike.

When he's not matching talent with opportunity, you’ll find him spending time with his wife, son, and two dogs, Lenny and Roland. Free time is often filled with camping trips, strumming his guitar, or getting lost in a classic Ken Burns documentary on PBS.
