INTERESTING FACT?
The name Redeemed Automotive has meaning; however, we are not attempting to make a name for ourselves. We are lifting up the only name that matters.
CHALLENGES YOU'VE FACED?
Many, very many. With sickness and the death of several family members, we have moved several times, meaning Gary has had to move his shop also. We are excited to be in a commercial location now where we hope to be for a long time.
MOST PROUD OF?
All that God has done for us. He gives us life, He has given us each other, our three teenage children and a love for Him that surpasses all things. We've been through many trials but having faith during bad circumstances has worked so many blessings in our lives that it now gives us the opportunity to witness through them. Our work is a part of our testimony and witness.
WHAT DO YOU FORESEE IN THE FUTURE?
Business picking up and dependable staff joining our work family. Our family of five will also grow, one day, and we will have the large, close, loving family that Gary and I have longed to have for many years.
HOW HAS THE CHAMBER HELPED YOU?
The Chamber has helped us with advertising.
TALK ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.
Gary & I got married at 18, both of us coming out of broken and abusive family situations. We feel free to talk about our struggles. You never know who it may help. We had three children in our early 20's while both of us worked hard and earned college degrees. Gary also completed his volunteer fireman training and was certified. He has owned several log trucks, Redeemed Trucking, LLC. Our three teens, Katie, 17, Lynn, 15 and Luke, 13, are active in the youth group at church and play instruments. We strive hard to work hard, love hard and we pray together each day. We teach our children to do the same. Gary and I have been together for over 20 years and plan on many more to come.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?
We attend Friendship Baptist Church in Bartow. We love to play with our dogs, two bloodhounds, a golden retriever and an old English bulldog. We go camping, hunting, fishing and play music together when we have time.
TELL US SOMETHING INTERESTING!
I am a registered dental hygienist and Gary was a police officer. However, neither of us are now working in the area we went to school in and got certified for!
