Our Story
The business is led by husband-and-wife team Jay and Amy Jenkins, who have worked side by side for years to build a company grounded in integrity and exceptional service. Long before Amy officially joined the business full time, she was the behind-the-scenes support system helping Jay with scheduling, paperwork, communication, and anything else the business needed. In May 2025, she stepped into her full-time role, transforming years of informal support into formal leadership.
