Lori's career as a licensed general contractor and owner of a residential design and build construction company is what inspired her to help restore broken lives.
Lori was born into a difficult family life whose parents were alcohol dependent and severely mentally ill. She struggled through abuse, neglect, panic disorder, PTSD, and anorexia. But she was determined to make something of her life which led her to help others less fortunate.
Marrying at 23, she was still suffering through panic disorder and anorexia. She lost her mother-in-law to leukemia, became pregnant with twins but one was lost. She lost her ability to work due to the high-risk pregnancy and they lost their home, cars and all their belongings. They had to file bankruptcy and begin the process of starting over.
