They've joined the Chamber of Commerce and have exciting plans hosting charity events at their building in the future. Collaborations with clients to support these charitable endeavors are also in the works.

Rodney’s business journey hasn’t been without its challenges. Their current space was a fixer-upper, requiring numerous renovations to improve its appearance and functionality. Each improvement has only increased their pride in their workspace and their dedication to the craft.
