Grateful doesn't even begin to describe the emotions running through me today as I reflect on the incredible journey that began 9 years ago. A life-changing car accident forced me to stand at a crossroads, uncertain of the path ahead. Little did I know, destiny had already paved the way.

In 2007, I returned to Indiana and became more involved in my family's real estate business. Every home was an opportunity to make something out of nothing. The experience became the foundation upon which I built my own venture. Fast forward to today, and the past 9 years have been nothing short of transformative.

The last 4 years, in particular, have seen more growth in unexpected places, challenges, and triumphs than the previous 5 combined. Every obstacle has been a stepping stone, every setback a setup for a comeback. I've poured my heart and soul into this business, learning, evolving, and adapting to the dynamic world of real estate and design.

This journey is far from over. More changes are on the horizon, and I am ready to embrace them with open arms. It's not just a business; it's a testament to resilience, determination, and the unwavering support of an incredible community.

To all those who have been part of this journey – clients, friends, and family – THANK YOU. Your belief in me and this vision has fueled the fire within.

A special thank you to the team that helped me transition into my "new normal" Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana, especially Dr. Debra McConnaha + Himanshu Saini and IFAST Physical Therapy, LLC (Bill Hartman) and the IFAST Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training family.

Here's to the next chapter, the next milestone, and the continued growth of a dream that started in the most unlikely place.
