Spotlight on Coatesville Graduates!
Featuring: Colleen Quinn-Maxwell: Owner of award winning Kohler’s Bakery in Avalon and teacher in Lower Moreland
Each month, our team will be featuring fellow Coatesville High School Graduates and what they are up to now! Our next featured graduate that we are proud to present is Colleen Quinn-Maxwell! So we asked…”what have you been up to since graduation day in Colleen?”
1. I have taken on a number of professions since leaving CASH. I graduated from West Chester University with both a B.S. in Athletic Training/Sports Medicine and a Post Bacc in K-12 Health and Physical Education. Additionally I earned a MAED from Gratz College. I have worked at the collegiate, high school and middle school levels as both a certified athletic trainer and teacher in anatomy, biology, health and physical education.
I am fortunate enough to currently work for the Lower Moreland Township School District as a high school health and physical education teacher. I am also the founder/advisor of the Students Against Melanoma Club and Co-Sponsor of the freshmen class.
Being a teacher is an incredibly rewarding profession, but I am also grateful to have owned my own award winning bakery business Kohler’s Bakery as well for the past 12 years in Avalon, NJ. Check out Kohler’s Bakery here:
- I have always loved learning about the human body, helping other people improve their health and also continuing to be a part of the long standing tradition that is my 70 year old business. Yes, ironic to be a health teacher and own a Bakery business but life can always be enjoyed in moderation.
- I was fortunate enough to be a resident of Coatesville since birth until shortly after college and attended Friendship Elementary, Reeceville Elementary, North Brandywine and CASH. My mom and brother both taught in the district and my husband is currently a 5th grade teacher at Caln Elementary and has been a Coatesville teacher for 12 years.
- My time growing up in Coatesville was fulfilling from my academic classes, the stage for Meistersingers, the field for my soccer games to the track for meets, all people in my life influenced me to have strong character, look out for others, and be resilient. Life is not always easy but if you work hard, good things will come your way.
- There are so many great memories to remember from high school. First, I was honored to be named our class president. Truly humbled by my classmates by that title. I will never forget our trip of a lifetime with Senora Campayo to Spain. An incredible chance to experience this trip with friends. One of the simplest memories that is long lasting though were the moments during Meistersingers Carol Service when we walked in and the moment we walked out under candlelight singing to our families at their seats. An entire community coming together for that tradition was always an incredible experience.
- I am fortunate enough to have some of my closest friends be ones that I grew up with 25-30 years ago. That shows the strength of the friendships that are built in a community like Coatesville. I am very lucky as I met my husband, also a Coatesville native, while growing up. We now have 2 boys, ages 6 and 3 and have been married 8 years.
Thank you Colleen for sharing your impressive career and family life after graduating from Coatesville!!!

Erica and her team are dynamic, knowledgeable, confident and fun. Their knowledge of the market is superb and their positive and upbeat attitude was extremely helpful throughout the process of selling our unique home. From start to finish, we were in good hands with this team. When we faced some unwieldy challenges close to our settlement date, they truly went “above and beyond” to help us reach a successful outcome. We are very grateful for their dedication and kindness. We recommend The Lundmark Group wholeheartedly.

The Lundmark Group was beyond helpful to me when I first arrived in Philadelphia. I have worked with them several times now. Erica, Jeff, and the entire team always go out of their way to make sure I have everything I need and that I am completely comfortable in my home. I always recommend The Lundmark Group to anyone looking for a realtor.
Crystal Corey and Wayne Simmonds, Philadelphia Flyers
It was great working with the Lundmark Group. Erica understands the housing needs for athletes better than anyone. She found exactly what I needed on very short notice and even made sure that I had all the essentials in the home, like curtains, dishes, etc. so that I could focus my energy on playing baseball. The Lundmark Group is truly exceptional!
Jayson Nix, former Philadelphia Phillies
Our experience with The Lundmark Group has been far surpassed compared to many others realtors we have worked with in the past. When they told us they would take care of all the details at the beginning they meant it. My wife is disabled and requires a lot of extra help and these ladies were there to provide it not only for open houses but perspective house tours etc.....we could not have done it this time without this team! We would HIGHLY recommend this group to anyone that is looking to sell and/or purchase a home! You will not be sorry!
Dawn & Randy Smith, West Grove, PA
Erica was such a pleasure to work with! She worked extremely hard and she made herself available anytime we needed her. Her professionalism and ability to quickly tend to our needs makes her an easy choice to do business with again!! You're the best Lundmark Group!
Hali and Andrew MacDonald, Philadelphia Flyers
The Lundmark Group is an outstanding team to work with when buying or selling your home. They were able to sell our house in 10 days! They were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and in tune from the beginning of the process. I will definitely be recommending The Lundmark Group to family, friends, and associates.
Joe and Lisa Lyons, Coatesville
Coming to Philadelphia, a city we knew nothing about, it was so nice to have The Lundmark Group guide us. They helped us to feel comfortable and find a home we loved! Everyone at the Lundmark group is thorough and dedicated to getting their clients exactly what they want. They always go above and beyond! It is so nice to have a real estate team that truly cares about each of their clients!
Jessica and Luke Schenn, Philadelphia Flyers
I have to applaud Erica Lundmark and her team for a remarkable job in servicing a client that I had referred to them. Their house sold in just 10 days and I thought I would have to send an oxygen tank because the clients were so happy ! I am so proud that we were the pixie dust that added to the magic of this story.
Charlene A. Orzechowski, Realtor
Erica's patience and professionalism along with her in depth knowledge of the area made finding a house fun. Guiding us through the process with our interests clearly at the forefront of her mind was very reassuring!
Brett and Karen Neave, Birchrunville
My family and I loved how The Lundmark Group was always honest and never wasted our time. They were always very thorough, persevering, and professional.
Michael and Kijafa Vick, Former Philadelphia Eagles Quarter Back
Erica and Dara contacted me with every detail, returned my phone calls, emails and text messages each and every time I needed to speak with them. The entire Lundmark Group gave me support and encouragement throughout the selling process. They are extremely knowledgeable and intelligent. The buyer had a minor problem and Erica was able to trouble shoot the issue and help find a solution. I recommend Erica and the Lundmark Group very highly and would hire them again in a heart beat. They are honest and tell you what you need to know, not what you want to hear. The closing of my condo was smooth and easy. I believe The Lundmark Group is the best in the real estate business.
Donna Ketner, Coatesville
The Lundmark Group exhibited the utmost level of professionalism, field experience and patience, all while maintaining a positive attitude regardless of obstacles throughout both the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our current one.
Mihai and Laura Petrescu, Glenmoore, PA
Working with Erica and her team has been a tremendously pleasant experience from the first time we called on Skype to find our home while living across the country. She not only made us feel like we were her only clients, but her most important ones, paying attention to every detail in depth. The Lundmark Group has helped us build our first home, sell another, and now we are onto our next purchase with them again. The whole group is like family to us. To say they are a great group to help in any of your home purchasing or selling needs is an understatement. We didn't want our business transaction to end as we didn't want to say goodbye to our new found friends at the Lundmark Group!
Matt and Mihaela Kubasta Downingtown, PA
The Lundmark Group has helped us several times over the years. We can always rely on Erica and the Lundmark Group to find us a great place, quickly. Because she is also married to an athlete, Erica is easy to talk to and she understands the unique needs of professional athletes when it comes to housing.
