Our Family

Welcome to our Northwoods
		Mary Beth Moberg… Artist, Entrepreneur. February of 2004 marked the culmination of a dream and the beginning of a quest. After a quarter century of working as a bench jeweler in Wausau and Chicago, Mary Beth Moberg finally had her own shop. It would be a jewelry store that broke the mold: “Upscale, Uptown and Up North, Never Uptight,” according to an early ad. Inspired by the beauty and the ethos of Wisconsin’s Northwoods, its shelves now sparkle with Canadian diamonds, jeweled Faberge eggs, and Mary Beth’s unique custom designs. Somehow, as she’s soldering her beloved Cool Beans coffee bean bracelets, taking orders from customers, buying stones from suppliers, and doing on-the-spot repairs, Mary Beth finds time to be a Mom, and to serve the community as a volunteer with Wausau’s First Universalist Unitarian Church, and as a member of the Board of Directors of the YWCA.
		Glen Moberg… News Man, Blues Man, Business Man. The Northwoods Jewelry Company’s Business and Marketing Manager leads a double life! Thousands of people wake up to his voice every morning on Wisconsin Public Radio. He’s been a television anchor and news director in Wausau and Chicago… a network correspondent for FOX News… a traffic reporter stationed on top of the world’s tallest building… and a disc jockey at a really cool progressive FM station. He’s moderated U.S. Senate debates, organized political forums, and emceed everything from rock concerts to local spelling bees. He serves on the Board of Directors of several community organizations, and has been a member of Rotary International since 1984. When the family moved from the Windy City to the Northwoods, Glen packed his guitars and his love for Chicago’s indigenous music, the blues.
		Our Children are Both Bass Enthusiasts! Melody Moberg works part-time at the jewelry store. Her passion is classical music and the double bass. She takes lessons at the Wausau Conservatory, and at the age of 17 performs regularly with the Wausau Symphony. Thomas Jefferson Moberg (Tommy to his friends) has a passion for fishing. At the age of ten, he’s already landed two trophy smallmouth bass, nearly identical fish, each weighing a whopping six pounds and measuring 22 inches. If you want to see them, just drop by The Northwoods Goldsmith… they’re hanging on the wall!
