Jo Beth Nicklas AKA “JO”

Based in the Lake of the Ozarks, Jo Beth Nicklas is a lake native who grew up on a small family resort, giving her deep roots in the local community. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Theater from Drury University and a Master of Arts in Theater from Missouri State University. Her background as an educator includes 29 years of teaching at Camdenton High School, alongside instruction at both the community college and private university levels.

 Her eye for unique vintage items grew directly out of her decades in theatre. Hunting down period-accurate props, artwork, and set pieces required deep historical research, giving her a sharp knowledge of different eras, design movements, and art styles. What began as stage sourcing and helping family and friends liquidate estates naturally grew into a business buying, selling, and shipping mid-century furniture and collectibles nationwide across platforms like HiBid, eBay, Etsy, and Facebook Marketplace.

 Today, Jo Beth focuses on managing listings, developing new client relationships, and providing hands-on customer service.
