Kate:
Secretary
Hi! I’m Kate, the secretary and niece of the owner. I recently made the big move from sunny Florida to join the family business and help support its continued growth and success. With a strong sense of dedication and a love for keeping things organized, I’m excited to be part of a company that means so much to my family. Whether I’m managing the schedule, handling communications, or keeping the office running smoothly, I’m all in because this isn’t just work to me, it’s personal.
Michelle Crabtree:
Bookkeeper
Hi, my name is Michelle Crabtree, daughter of the owner of the company and proud to be part of the family business as the bookkeeper. While I help manage the financial side of things behind the scenes, I’m also currently serving on active duty in the military. Balancing both roles has taught me discipline, attention to detail, and the importance of integrity—values I bring to everything I do. Whether I’m in uniform or working in the office, I’m committed to serving with purpose and supporting the legacy my family has built.
Jacob Crabtree:
Technician
Hi, I’m Jacob, the son-in-law of the owner and a proud part-time technician here at the company. I also serve full-time in the U.S. military, balancing my commitment to both service and family. I stepped in to support the family business wherever I’m needed, bringing a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a hands-on approach to every task. Whether I’m in uniform or in the shop, I take pride in getting the job done right.
