Marty Ness-White of Kitchen Solvers of Spring Hill
How long have you been in business in Spring Hill?
Since April 2023.
What was the first job you ever had?
Babysitting and working at a pet store.
How has your career path placed you in your current position?
It is actually my husband’s story. We relocated here via GM, and after 30+ years of working in Corporate America, he was done! We chose to be a part of the Kitchen Solvers franchise because they are rated one of the best franchises in the country who have developed all of the processes and and quality vendor relationships which paired perfectly with my husband’s (Andy) engineering skills and his passion for remodeling to create more efficiency and beauty in people’s homes. We make a dynamic duo with my design skills and his attention to detail.
How do you give back to the community through your business?
We are highly involved in our Veteran community, as well as, supporting other small local businesses with partnerships and referrals. Donating our time and skills to veterans and families in need is a passion of mine being a USAF Disabled Veteran.
Who is your favorite business mentor or role model?
For me, it is more of all business owners that are truly involved in their community, supporting other local small businesses and those that focus on work life balance. We are a family owned and operated business and being able to have time to focus on life, family and friends is so important to a successful business.
What is your favorite thing to do when not at work?
Dinner parties, cooking/baking, gardening, kayaking and camping.
Where is your favorite travel destination?
We have loved to travel (though that may be limited, now, owning a business) but we tend to gravitate towards warm beaches and tropical places to explore the real culture and activities. That means no resorts or cruises, but airbnbs and local favorites.
