Andrew joined in 2020 and runs their training program—customers consistently praise his teaching. Kristy (General Manager, also an RN) joined in 2021 and keeps operations running smoothly. Their son Whitmore handles video production and has developed such strong skills he's doing freelance work for other local businesses.
