Get to Know Jamy

Where I am from:  With southern roots, I was born and raised in Lexington, NC, the self-proclaimed Barbeque Capital of the World, which helped shape my love of good food and sweet tea.

My approach to life:  The glass is always half full. Life is too short to be negative. A smile is always the best accessory to any outfit!

How I spend my time outside of work:  My life is overfilled with joy and craziness thanks to my strong-willed, energetic toddler and a newborn! I thank my husband every day for being my partner in crime in this journey called parenthood.

They always send the A-team with a high level of trust and integrity.
Let's build a future together
