It was all about that spark that turned into something bigger..
While shopping for custom tumblers one year, I realized we could take things into our own hands.
We began researching laser engravers, and even when we weren’t talking about it, my brain couldn’t stop turning with ideas of the things we could do with the right equipment.
Then, Christmas of 2023, Sarah surprised me with a laser engraver—and that very day I began creating the vision for Key To Gifts.
Since then, I’ve come to embrace my own kind of creativity. It may not be your typical creative outlet, like painting or playing music, but my creativity shows up in the care I put into creating every gift. I create with intention, always keeping the recipient in mind. For me, it’s about making people feel appreciated, seen, and valued.
And that’s my why—freedom, connection, and creating gifts that mean something.
Moving onto a little about me..
I’m just a small-town Kentucky girl who, after 30 years of small-town living, followed an opportunity that led me to the big state and cities of Texas—and it was the most difficult, exciting and life-changing decision I’ve ever made.
I started out in Austin with a new degree working on medical equipment, but everything shifted when I met my now wife, Sarah, in 2018. I moved to San Antonio, and we got married in October 2020. I began working alongside her in 2021, and we’ve been building both life and business together ever since.
We have four wonderful kids, each of them completely different and confidently themselves. We also have three dogs, including our 160-pound Great Dane who always keeps things interesting! We live in the great town of Helotes, just outside San Antonio, and love being involved in our local and real estate community.
When I’m not working, I love going on trips with my family and friends. I love just spending time with all of them, whether it is on a trip, at a local brewery/winery, having dinner or brunch…
Life is full, loud, and beautiful—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
For me, it's all about the details..
A typical day in my life revolves around focus, discipline, and a strong commitment to the little things that often make the biggest difference. From the moment I begin my day, I pour my heart into every task—ensuring that every product, every package, and every customer experience reflects the love and intention behind my brand. For me, it's never just about sending out an order; it's about delivering happiness, building trust, and honoring the reason I started this journey in the first place. Each delivery is a chance to connect with someone, to bring a smile, and to remind myself of the purpose that fuels everything I do.
