Meet the Owners


Jarrod is an active Roanoke City Lieutenant and active in the Technical Rescue and Swiftwater Rescue Teams.
Sarah runs the store, family and mostly tries to be a Superwoman as she increases our sales by having an incredible ability to handle most anything that comes her way.
If you have been in before you will recognize the twins, Kaid and Jayla, we hope to one day be able to pass on the business to them, if they would like.
