Store Manager: Jodi Burack  
A retail veteran in her own right, Jodi’s held positions at a variety of well-known companies including Allen Edmonds, TUMI, David Yurman, Brooks Brothers, Tiffany & Co., and Banana Republic. Originally hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Jodi is the youngest of six, and incidentally, it was at the age of six when she, already an accomplished equestrian by that time, took first place in the very first horse show she ever entered. These days, you won’t find Jodi on a horse too often, as she prefers to motivate on her own two feet. “I’m a voracious walker,” she told us. Walking, hiking, yoga, and traveling are Jodi’s passions when she’s not out meeting with customers and leading the team at Orvis Wilmette. She and her husband have hiked the Great Smoky Mountains and explored the towns along the Normandy coast of France, one of her favorite destinations. Being fast on her feet has served Jodi well over the years. In fact, when she was working in a store in downtown Chicago, she saved a child from being hit by a car just outside the front door. Jodi’s attention to detail, welcoming smile, and eagerness to help others puts her in prime position to ensure customers at Orvis Wilmette are properly prepped for all their outdoor pursuits.
