Sherry
Native of “CUL-vert” county (Calvert) and 4 years in the industry, this Jill of All Trades’ passion is CREATING! If forced to pick just one form of creating… Sherry’s answer would have to be furniture restoration. Or flower arranging. Or painting. Or anything that includes her kitties; Sheila, Callie, and Lucy😊
Steve
Born and bred, in St. Mary’s County, with a dash of Baltimore in between. Interest in architecture blossomed while in the city and made its way back to Southern Maryland with Steve, evidenced by his logical approach to design and Lego building past time. 20 years in the industry and mentoring 8 young men to the accomplishment of Eagle Scout are two logical reasons to connect with Steve on your next design project.
Jamie
With the last name Tennyson, it goes without saying, family is everything. Growing up on a farm in Chaptico meant hard work, but Jamie and his brothers played harder. 43 years in the construction industry makes trusting your kitchen, bath, closet, or custom cabinetry design to this shortstop & pitcher a guaranteed homerun!
