Nancy Revis A.B.O.C
Nancy has been in Optical for about 32 years. Yep. 32 years. She grew up in a little town outside of Detroit, MI and started out at a small Optical shop doing data entry. She decided that she had had enough of Michigan weather and got in her car and drove until she couldn’t drive anymore and ended up in San Luis Obispo, CA. While going to Cal Poly, she worked full time at a local Optical shop called Urban Optics and within a year, started managing. After 10 years of managing that great little shop she was blind sided by falling in love and moved to Northern California and worked at Rims and Goggles in Marin for nearly 6 years. As love would have it, she had a couple of kids and she and her family moved to Petaluma, CA. Nancy’s husband Joost helped entertain the idea of opening a cool and groovy Optical Boutique on Kentucky St… and there you have it. Uber Optics was born in 2013.
Addictions: Rock concerts and photography. All photos on this website are taken by her. She loves to make her customers feel like rockstars. Dream side job: Photographing for Rollingstone.
Elizabeth Aguilar A.B.O.C
Elizabeth has been in Optical for 26 years. From the fresh young age of 17, Elizabeth got her Optical feet wet in a small Optometry office in Novato, CA. Trained by the doctor, she started in the front office but soon became ABO certified and moved into pre testing, contact lens training, frame buying and pretty much managing the office for 8 years. She wanted more. She realized her passion was fulfilled working with high end eyewear and independent optical boutiques. Moving forward, she went to work for a boutique in Marin county where she sold amazing independent eyewear as well as cut and edged lenses in the onsite lab.
Elizabeth took a 5 year hiatus and while raising her children worked in the mortgage business as a loan officer. The work was consuming and it was becoming a 60 hour work week and extremely stressful. Thankfully, Optical was in her core and she was able to slip back into it unscathed. She worked a few more years in Marin and as luck would have it, her friend Nancy opened up Uber Optics in the town of Petaluma where she resides. In December 2013, she came on board and it’s been a party ever since.
Addictions: A good bagel from Acre coffee. Exploring a new getaway with her family and friends. A beautiful hiking trail. Keeping her life tidy.
Jennifer Cerio A.B.O.C
Jenn has been in optical for 30 some odd years. She was born and raised in Syracuse, NY and that was where all the magic began to happen. Jenn’s first job was a file clerk in a small Optometrist office back when she was just a pup. Moving forward, she started working full-time for a chain optical store called Eye World (yes, really). There she obtained optician apprenticeship. Then the 90’s hit and things started to get crazy. She started attending Erie Community College in Williamsville, NY and earned an A.A.S. in Applied Science for Ophthalmic Dispensing. She really started to kick some Optical butt and received her ABO, NCLE and NY State Licensure in Ophthalmic Dispensing and Contact Lens Fitting. All the while, developing into a super amazing style guru, she got a wild curly hair and moved to San Francisco and worked for Lenscrafters, private practice Leona Landers, OD and Eyedare Optometry. She then, really kicked it into high gear and got into high-end eyewear at City Optix in San Francisco.
In the midst of her San Francisco life, she married a childhood friend, started a family, moved to Marin and worked for Rims and Goggles for 13 years. Her R&G cohort, Nancy, started Uber Optics and Jenn decided to come along for the ride…. and Jenn is highly skilled, sarcastic in the best way possible, hilarious and necessary.
Addictions: Rock concerts with Nancy. Speaking French. Making sure her family is solid and happy.
Damon Phillips A.B.O.C.
Damon has been in the optical world since 2018. From right out of High School, he had many lines of work! He was an Elementary School Yard Duty, a shoe salesman/bike technician at Sports Authority, and an Electronics Salesman at Target. He then tried his hand at various types of work as a Security Guard in retail, factory, hospital and mental health settings. All the while he was attending junior college attempting to find his true calling.
It wasn't until he started working for Costco in 2018 that he began his adventure into the realm of the Optical World. He saw an opportunity to help people, to make a difference in someone's life by helping them to see the world! As soon as a position opened up, he applied and worked hard for 4 years, honing his craft, sharpening his skills, and developing his fashion sense! It wasn't until a chance encounter walking past Uber Optics (On the hunt for some stylish frames!) that Damon saw the opportunity to further grow his optical career. The Shapes! The Colors! The sheer variety of styles! A fire was lit within him, and three weeks later, in May of 2022, he became a proud new optician under the banner of Uber Optics!
Addictions: A Dutch Bros. Irish Kicker, Sea Shanties, D&D with his friends, drawing, and date days with his partner!
