Steve is a familiar and trusted face at Inspired Eyes, bringing over 30 years of experience as a dedicated optician before his well-earned retirement. Known for his friendly personality and genuine care for patients, Steve has always taken pride in helping people see their best while making them feel comfortable and valued.

Outside the office, Steve lives a full and active life with his wife, Jen. Originally from St Marys but lived in Spokane Washington for 19 years, he still carries that down-to-earth, easygoing spirit with him. Music is a big part of who he is—he’s the drummer for a band called Western Allies and also plays guitar in his church band, sharing his love of music with his community.

When he’s not playing music, Steve enjoys cheering on his favorite sports teams and is an active dog lover. Whether he’s talking about music, sports, or swapping stories with patients, Steve brings warmth, experience, and a personal touch to everything he does.

Join us in wishing Steve a Happy Birthday!

Join us in wishing Jill a Happy Birthday!

Jill has been the face of Inspired Eyes as the Front Desk Coordinator at Inspired Eyes from day 1. She was born and raised in nearby Fort Loramie and now resides in Cassella. Jill graduated from Fort Loramie High School and was involved in athletics and many clubs. She worked part time at “It’s All About You” hair salon as a receptionist throughout high school which inspired her to attend the Creative Images Institute of Cosmetology where she obtained her cosmetology license. Jill then continued to work at “It’s All About You” as a stylist and a receptionist and continues to hold her license.

She switched gears to join our team and helps patients in with scheduling appointments, addressing billing needs, and answering phones. She also enjoys assisting our opticians, Steve and Ashley to style patients with new glasses that not only fit well but add personality. Helping patients with any questions and making sure they leave happy is her top priority as a part of this wonderful team!

In her free time she loves spending time with family and friends. She is married to Dan and has two adorable children. She also enjoys spending time outdoors, attending concerts, and traveling.

Dr. Frideger was born and raised in Minster, Ohio. She knew a career in optometry would be the perfect fit through her strengths in science, her desire to serve others, and her dream of raising a family in her hometown. She attended The Ohio State University, where she was accepted early into the College of Optometry. During her time there, she served as treasurer of the Beta Sigma Kappa Honor Society and was an active member of the Fellowship of Christian Optometrists and Student Volunteers for Optometric Service to Humanity.

Through these organizations, Dr. Frideger had the opportunity to provide essential eye care and glasses to underserved communities both locally and internationally, with service trips spanning Columbus, Tennessee, and Nicaragua. These experiences deepened her passion for optometry and reinforced her commitment to using her skills to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. She graduated in 2019 with her Doctor of Optometry degree, along with a degree in Vision Science.

Following graduation, Dr. Frideger returned to Minster, where she has worked in both private practice and community health settings. She enjoys caring for patients of all ages, with a special interest in ocular disease and low vision management. Through low vision care, she works closely with patients to develop personalized solutions that maximize their remaining vision when traditional corrective options are no longer sufficient.

Dr. Frideger is currently pursuing Fellowship in the American Academy of Optometry (FAAO), further demonstrating her commitment to advancing her knowledge and providing the highest level of care.

Outside of the office, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Alec, and their three daughters. She values staying active and being outdoors, and she is dedicated to her faith and community. Dr. Frideger volunteers as a catechist at St. Augustine/St. Joseph Parish, where she teaches fourth grade. Her family, faith, health, and community continue to inspire her to stay at the forefront of optometric research and technology, ensuring the best possible care for her patients.
