Hello! I'm laura

A fifth-generation, dyed-in-the-wool West Virginian, I was born and raised in the Valley a few minutes outside Charleston. After having gotten to travel in six other countries and over a dozen other states, I can indeed confirm that there's no place on earth quite like West Virginia.

I am so thankful to be living, working, and raising my four precious children with my husband Chris, here in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.

My father, a West Virginian small business owner of nearly forty years, instilled his classical work ethic and his passion for exceptional service in me as a child. When I would get to visit his big corner office as a little girl, I would sit in the side chair he kept for me and listen in fascination as he chatted with clients and distributors on the phone. It didn’t matter that I understood little of the actual content of their discussions (my father's field, fiberglass engineering, was over my head as a child.) His kindness, professionalism, and the individual care he gave to every person he spoke to, made a profound impression on me that has shaped the way I approach every client of my own, nearly thirty years later.
