About Deanna Kaminski

Almost half of Deanna Kaminski's 15-year career in the lighting industry have been dedicated to Lighting Systems. Staring out as a Quotation Specialist, Deanna is now an integral part of our Project Management team.

We are "Lucky" to have her trendy persona enlightening the office this past 7 years. She is always looking for something new and willing to explore and learn unfamiliar and different things; goat yoga, oatmeal lattes, and growing loofahs in her home garden - just to name a few. We look forward to having her as a part of the Lighting Systems family for multiple septets to come.

As a busy mom to two wonderful active boys, (Shane 6 and Dylan 2), Deanna and her husband Scott love to go camping, swimming and vacationing.

When she does finds the time, she has a passion for cooking, baking and tending to her impressive garden.

Kimberly Ford

Kimberly Ford was destined for a career with Lighting Systems. As a third-generation employee, she didn’t fall far from the industry tree. Her knowledge of lighting is deeply embedded thanks to her grandfather, Al Thompson, who was one of Lighting Systems original partners, followed by her father, now retired, former Principal, Dan Thompson.

After completing her degree in design and marketing from Sacramento State, Kimberly started her career at Lighting Systems in 2014 as a Customer Service Rep. She is now one of our many amazing Project Managers working diligently to ensure projects stay on schedule and budget. She loves learning more about the industry with its constantly changing products, technologies, and methods, but most of all she adores her Bay Area clientele.

Kimberly and her husband Jeff are about to celebrate their 7th year of marriage. They recently expanded their family with the birth of Thomas in 2020.

When not working on renovating her recently purchased Roseville home, Kimberly enjoys getting out and kayaking with her family on Lake Tahoe or closer to home on Folsom Lake. In her quiet moments, she likes to bake and read.
