I was born and raised in Avery County and graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in finance. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Derek, and we are blessed with two amazing kids, Stone and Mica. My grandfather Treely and his brothers were builders in Avery County, and I am proud to follow in his footsteps. I am truly grateful and humbled at all the opportunities God has given us. We are blessed to work in the most beautiful place in the world, with the most amazing people, doing what we love!
