About Kristin Huff

Kristin deviated from the family flock by attending Indiana University, earning an English degree. She worked as an editor and writer in Colorado and Michigan before the siren call of Blackstone brought her back to Indiana. Kristin started at Blackstone in 2002 and has since learned to love the intoxicating world of oil analysis. When she’s not working on the website, creating newsletters, doing HR stuff, or writing reports, Kristin enjoys running, swimming, gardening, and working on visiting all 50 states with her husband and kids.

Thanks for the fast service! You guys are the best. Of course I like hearing better news, but having data to back up suspicion is valuable.

As a longtime customer of your engine oil reports, I really appreciate your work. I especially appreciate your Comments section where you take a moment to review and comment on the report specifics. The light humor is the cherry on top.
Please keep up your great service and the personalized touch!

Chrissie

Chrissie came to Blackstone from a racing family. She grew up at local race tracks watching her Dad race and work with cars, so joining Blackstone was clearly written in the stars. Besides racing,  Chrissie enjoys gardening and, oddly enough, cleaning. Het two teenagers are her whole world, though working at Blackstone might give them a run for their money in terms of mom love.

Emily

Emily spends her days slinging oil in the lab, but when she’s not working, she spends her time outdoors with her kid or building (and hopefully not stepping on) something with Legos. And when she’s not doing that, she’s playing video games with friends. She has a puppy named Finley and a cat named Timmy, and is planning on growing her family with a few reptiles or possibly an arachnid or two.

Amy

Amy worked in the printing world for almost 23 years before deciding it was time for a change, landing her here at Blackstone. She is a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan and loves to make the trip to Raymond James Stadium with her husband to watch them play. When not lucky enough to be soaking up the sun in Florida, she enjoys spending time with her four grandchildren.

Beck

Beck brings his data entry and receiving skills to Blackstone from a life in merchandising. When he’s not enjoying life in the world of oil samples, you’ll find him spending time with family, enjoying the outdoors, listening to music, trying good food, and making friends with just about any animal he meets. He appreciates life’s simple pleasures and tries to bring a positive attitude to each day.
