Raised in Chicagoland by Charles Hardy Mead and Gay Holland Mead within a very close-knit family. I was extremely fortunate in that both sets of my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all lived within walking distance. I got started in Home Improvements 20 years ago. Success brought me promotion and relocation to DFW in 1999. I don't much miss my snow blower and enjoy the additional 1,000 square feet I gained in the move along with the pool. I am blessed with two amazing children, Madilynn Charles Mead, who is working on her Physician's Assistant Master's Degree, and Michael Holland Mead, studying Supply Chain Management in Lubbock at Texas Tech. I have a dog, two cats, and like to spend my free time listening to music and the occasional round of golf.
I knew from the time I was 8 years old that I wanted to build things. I started in construction with a small custom home builder in Northern California. I later moved to Southern California and started my own business. I built custom homes and did commercial tenant improvements. After 40 years of being in the construction business, remodeling homes remains my passion. Every project is a unique situation and it's a wonderful thing for me to be able to go into someone's home, think outside the box, and take on the challenge of finding the perfect solution to create their ideal environment. I live in Dallas, Texas and would look forward to the opportunity to help you with your project.
I have always enjoyed art, the process of design and decoration. This is something I have been passionate about my entire life. Growing up in the Netherlands as a child, I always spent my days painting and designing anything that my mind could create. My approach to helping someone attain their dream home is to fully understand, connect and execute properly. The connection between myself and the client is key. Since every project is different and tailored to personal preference, I have learned to diversify over the years. I believe that there is not a single challenge that I cannot stand up to.
My greatest passions have always included the arts and any outlet to be creative. I've loved exploring new mediums since I was young, from drawing, painting, pottery, and sculpture, to graphic design and photography. In school I received awards in design from the Dallas Morning News and Columbia Scholastic Press Association. I have invested myself in professional photography for the last 5 years, photographing: athletic teams, graduating seniors, engagements, landscapes and nature, and families. I strive to bring out the personalities, beauty, and uniqueness in every subject I photograph. Last year I received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of North Texas and am currently seeking my master's degree. I enjoy traveling, reading, and spending time with my family and puppies!
