We all have stories to tell

We all have a story to tell. This is one of mine. About 15 years ago I was asked along with 20 or 30 other female CEO’s to write an essay sharing what one thing I would like to change about myself. I wrote and re wrote my essay as I wanted to come up […]

The owners wanted something simple that would keep people from driving down the driveway when they were not home.  I wanted to create something that would be functional but […]
