I grew up in a small town in southern Missouri, where I spent my days playing outside and exploring. This led to me wandering through local graveyards, reading the weathered and moss-covered headstones and imagining the life behind each name. As I grew older, I wanted to show respect for the past and to honor the memories of those who came before me, which led me to finding my calling.

Soon, I discovered the power of headstone cleaning and restoration and aimed to learn more and hone my skills. From the rolling hills of Missouri to the harsh deserts of Arizona, I learned skills and techniques to clean and restore headstones in all conditions. A few years ago, I arrived in Maine, surrounded by its deep history and natural beauty, and that's when I knew I had discovered the perfect place to channel my passion. Here, I made it my mission to revive the memories held within the headstones that grace the state's cemeteries.
