If you have known me for any period of time, you know I’m not one for giving myself a whole lot of credit. I’ve never been one for awards or recognition. But even my stubbornness can’t ignore this one.
This is a genuinely proud and eye opening experience. To be recognized by your community for something that at times has felt like a pipe dream speaks loud and clear. I just want to say thank you for the support, the trust, and the belief. To the ones who have trusted me to be the call when problems arise in their homes, those who have been in my corner when things have been less than ideal, and for the ones who have believed in me when even I wasn’t so sure, thank you. None of this happens without you all. Last but certainly not least, thank you Lord for taking this risk and turning it into a blessing.
If there’s one thing I’ve wanted this business to be known for, it’s honesty. If I’ve been lucky enough to provide a service for you I pray that’s one of the main takeaways you’ve gotten from the experience. I’ve seen firsthand the lack of honesty that can be found in this industry and have been lucky enough to work for, work with, and learn from some great people who have showed me that doesn’t have to be the way it is. To those who I’ve been lucky to cross paths with in this work in one way or another, thank you for trusting in me.
Here’s to an amazing 2026 so far and to making 2027 even better! Thank you all for your support truly.
