Stephen Feather, Vice President
“Roanoke is an ideal size. We do not have many big city problems such as traffic or high unemployment or small city problems where resources are limited and everything closes at 5:00 pm. The addition of many businesses relocating to the heart of Roanoke and an influx of downtown living options makes it an ideal place to call home.”
Andrea Hayner, Office & Accounting Coordinator
“Having recently moved to the Roanoke area, I am beginning to understand why people think so highly of this great city. The overall atmosphere is idyllic and provides a subtle sense of what feels like home. The surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains make for a breathtaking backdrop and is the perfect place for any level of outdoor enthusiast.”
Brad Meilak, Project Architect
“Having lived in small and large cities, Roanoke has a lot to offer for a smaller city. It is also far enough away from the larger cities that it will not become a satellite city of a larger metropolitan area and will always retain its individuality. “
Bill Hume, Founding Principal
Beautiful mountains and lakes within minutes in any direction. Plus, there is little to no traffic for a city of this size and the cost of living is low. In addition, we have some great school systems for all level of academia. Not to mention the terrific college football games and even racetracks for car nuts, like me! “
Jess Zimmerman, Project Architect
“I love the landscape. Every direction gives you a beautiful view and such a sense of calm and relaxation. Whether you are in the Roanoke or the New River Valley, driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway, or heading east through the historic Piedmont region of the state, there is always something interesting to see and take in. The lack of traffic is a nice perk as well!”
Hend Aloosi, Architectural Designer
“Nestled within the scenic embrace of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Roanoke presents breathtaking vistas, abundant prospects for outdoor recreation, and an overall delightful setting for nature enthusiasts. Its location also allows for great weekend getaways with its proximity to larger East Coast cities, such as Washington, D.C., and Charlotte, North Carolina.”
Hassan Aloosi, Architectural Designer
“Roanoke is a growing city that is still quiet and comfortable with a lot of room to grow among the mountains. I love the outdoors and the super friendly community.”
Jill Hume, Chief Financial Officer
Roanoke is a midsize city with a big heart and lots of opportunity for arts, culture, and a robust city life, including museums, local shopping, and wonderful farmers markets. Small enough that the rural country roads are close by and take you to hiking, biking, canoeing, and kayaking.
Darcy McGrath, Project Architect
“Having grown up in bigger cities, there is something magical about the more intimate size of Roanoke. From the heart of vibrant downtown, to be able to travel less than 2 miles to find endless hiking and biking trails, and river inlets is completely unique. However, the best part is, after being out-of-town, seeing the big Star on the hill and knowing you are home. It never fails to bring a smile and a happy sigh.”
