How you got involved in this industry: I’ve done administrative work in my career life including receptionist, secretary, shipping coordinator, ran my own in-home daycare for 12 years and a homeowners insurance claims examiner. I am also Alan’s mother. He has asked me for some time to come over to help him administratively in his growing business. Never dreamed I’d be marketing, getting worker’s compensation and general liability insurance, attending Chamber of Commerce events, doing payroll and so much more! But here I am and lovin’ it! Never say never.

Fun fact: “I am not a thrill seeker or adrenaline junkie, but I willingly rode the Insanity ride at the Stratosphere in Vegas in very high winds even about 12 years ago. I loved it.”

Ken Yarbrough

Construction Technician

Hometown: Orange, Texas

Favorite types of projects: My favorite projects are any that are built of wood. I love making interior tables (dining, coffee, end, etc.) from walnut, pecan, mesquite and other fine woods and outdoor furniture in my spare time. Many of these items are donated for benefit auctions.

How you got involved in this industry: I got involved in this industry under the tutelage of my father. Although Dad was a PHD chemist by profession, he was an extremely skilled craftsman. I watched and learned from him as much as a kid could. I went from fetching tools/materials to actually being able to build things.

Fun fact: I retired from law enforcement after a nearly 37 year career and can now enjoy my first loves of my wife, children, motorcycle riding, woodworking, fishing, and hunting.
