Born and raised in Rapid City, I’ve been in many forms of the music business for over 45 years. My first band, Choozy Music, was recently inducted into the South Dakota Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. My business, Creative Digital Replication, provides cd and DVD duplication, and digitizes old media…VHS tapes, record albums, cassettes, etc. I have served on several boards and committees and as a volunteer for many years; Chamber of Commerce ambassador and governmental affairs, Leadership Rapid City, Rapid City Concert Association, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Girl Scouts, Women’s Career and Leadership, and of course, Women’s Network to name a few. I will begin serving on the Chamber board next month. I have two daughters, two grandsons, one great-granddaughter and was widowed nearly three years ago. I’ve been a member of this great organization for 19 years. Check out my website vestawellsjohnsonmusic.com for samples of my own CDs.

Spotlight JulyMy name is Phyllis Martens.  I grew up on a farm near Wolsey, SD and received my MBA from the University of South Dakota in Vermillion.  With over 30 years of IT background, I retired in January 2017 from my IT career. In July 2016, I started sharing information about legal and identity theft services to help individuals, families, and businesses worry less and live more.  These services are available internationally. I have two awesome rescue dogs that keep life interesting and three children who live in the suburbs of Minneapolis, MN. I enjoy making and designing quilts, embroidery, knitting, and traveling.  I would love to live in Arizona in the winter and Rapid City in the summer months.
