In 1987, I embarked on an exhilarating journey by opening the doors to Hayes Martin Associates. Fully aware that the path ahead was uncharted, my vision was clear: to be meaningfully different, providing marketing counsel, strategic creative direction, and innovative solutions that would raise the bar in the homebuilding and land development industry.
As time passed, our team's talent ignited innovation, fostering unshakable confidence and establishing a respected reputation for marketing expertise, purposeful strategies, and groundbreaking creativity. Every endeavor served as a stepping stone towards achieving greater success through collaboration, making it a transformative journey.
For 37 years, HMA profoundly shaped my life, heart, and soul. Reflecting on this incredible journey, I announce my retirement and the closure of HMA on December 31, 2023, completing an era of passion and unwavering commitment with pride and gratitude.
My deepest appreciation goes to our valued clients, whose unwavering confidence and trust shaped not just a business but a monumental chapter of my life. I am forever grateful to Michele Linaweaver and every HMA family member over the last 37 years for being the cornerstone of this remarkable journey.
To my husband Doug, my rock and partner, and to my children, thank you for your love and support, allowing me to pour my heart into this journey.
As I look ahead, I embark on this transition with a sense of fulfillment, knowing that the impact of HMA will endure, resonating in the hearts of those it has touched.
Thank you all for being a part of this incredible journey.
