FOUNDER + OWNER
Jimmy Tompkins
"We only win when our customers win.
That’s not a tagline — it’s how every decision at LFD gets made.”
I started as a contractor and quickly learned how hard it was to find products, support, and a supplier who truly understood the work happening in the field. That experience inspired me to build Lights for Decorators, which is the kind of company I wish I’d had when growing my own business. Today, we’re proud to support contractors across North America with professional-grade products, practical guidance, and people who genuinely care about their success. I believe the best partnerships are built on trust, shared experience, and a willingness to help. If we’ve helped someone build a stronger business than they had yesterday, we’ve done our job.
THE FULL TEAM
Fallon Algie
Director of Sales and Client Success
I’m passionate about building lasting partnerships and helping our contractors grow successful businesses. I’m someone people can count on, bring positive energy, and provide thoughtful support through every interaction—that’s my win.
Outside of work, I’m a mom to two boys who keep me on my toes here in the Sunshine State, and by being born and raised in Florida, I've never seen real snow. Until then, I'll happily stick to sunshine and palm trees.

Jimmy Hollingshed

I know great projects depend on the work happening behind the scenes. I bring more than 10 years of experience in seasonal and residential lighting, helping keep our products, processes, and supply chain running smoothly, so our customers have what they need when they need it.
Outside of work, I call Denver home and enjoy traveling and exploring new places, always looking for my next destination.

I enjoy working with numbers and the details that keep everything moving behind the scenes of our company since 2022. Staying organized, improving processes, and supporting our team are all part of helping our customers have a better experience.
Outside of work, I love traveling, creating art, and connecting with people, and being fluent in Spanish has allowed me to build friendships around the world. One day, I dream of turning my perspectives and experiences into a book!

Ryan Ceplecha
Product Support + Warranty Lead
Every successful project starts with the right support. Whether we're planning ahead, troubleshooting an installation, or talking through a challenge, I’m always here to help find the right solution. I believe the best support comes from listening, sharing advice, and helping others move forward to deliver the best results.
When the workday ends, I love slowing down with family, friends, and spending time outside.
