Meet Roger & Sandy
Here's some information about our training and experience. We often joke that Sandy may have the creative idea, but Roger is the one who makes it happen. We think that we're a great balance, and the perfect combination of ideas and implementation.
Meet Roger & Sandy
Like many of you, we came to Western North Carolina on vacation and decided there was no better place to live. In a giant leap of faith, we closed our successful contracting business in the San Francisco Bay Area, sold our home and relocated in 2004. Today we're even happier to be here as we've settled into our new life, become active in the community and made many wonderful new friends.
