With a hands-on leadership style and a focus on customer satisfaction, Cara Feske has been at the helm of Ameribox since 2023. As owner, she leads operations at the Folsom, Louisiana-based company, which specializes in residential and commercial dumpster and portable storage rentals. Under her guidance, Ameribox has built a strong reputation for prompt service and transparent pricing.
Ameribox offers 15- and 20-yard dumpsters as well as 16- and 20-foot storage units, utilizing a robotic delivery system designed to ensure accurate placement and minimize driveway damage. Serving multiple parishes across Louisiana, the company is known for its same-day and next-day delivery capabilities that support individual homeowners and contractors.
Ms. Feske plays a central role in scheduling teams, overseeing daily operations, and personally ensuring timely deliveries. Her commitment to service has been instrumental in Ameribox’s success, and she considers the development of Ameribox’s strong customer service standards to be one of her most meaningful professional accomplishments.
Another standout moment occurred in 2024, when Ms. Feske’s leadership and impact were recognized with the Forty Under 40 award from Northshore Media Group, highlighting her dedication to business excellence and community engagement. Additionally, she is involved with the St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce and the Northshore Home Builders Association, reflecting her commitment to upholding industry standards and fostering community connections.
Reflecting on her path, Ms. Feske transitioned into her leadership role at Ameribox following the passing of her husband, who founded the company in 2018. His vision was to create a sustainable business that would provide for their family, and she has carried that vision forward. A former rodeo athlete in both high school and college, she credits her lifelong commitment to hard work and discipline as the foundation of her professional success.
Before taking over Ameribox, Ms. Feske built a solid foundation in the dental field. From 2019 to 2024, she served as a front office specialist at Bailey Family Dentistry, where she honed her skills in patient management and office operations. Prior to that, she was the dental office manager at Ferrara Family Dentistry LLC from 2015 to 2019, overseeing administrative functions and contributing to the practice’s growth. Her career in dentistry began at Grimball Pediatric Dentistry, where she worked as an office manager from 2012 to 2015. She also laid an educational foundation earning a Bachelor of Science in general agriculture from McNeese State University in 2009.
Outside of her professional life, Ms. Feske is the mother of two daughters, Paisley and Finley. She enjoys spending quality time with them and being involved in activities like boating, attending sports events, and visiting the beach. Looking ahead, she plans to expand Ameribox by introducing larger yard dumpsters to better serve contractors managing large-scale projects. This growth aligns with her goal of building a lasting legacy for her family while maintaining the high standards of service that define the company. Motivated by her daughters and grounded by her core belief to “never give up,” she aspires to continue to lead with purpose and perseverance.
