Best wishes in 2026!
Stidham Cabinet, Inc. proudly celebrated 50 years of business in 2025. It was a landmark achievement that President and CEO James Stidham, wife and secretary/treasurer Carolyn Stidham, and the entire Stidham family were happy to share with the local community.
“In 1975, I began the adventure of what has become the largest woodworking company of its type in the state,” James Stidham said in a letter that was distribut ed to visitors of the plant during a special day of behind-the-scenes tours last October. “This path has taken many curves and turns, uphill and down, with one constant – hard work and dedication to constant improvement.”
Indeed, keeping an eye to the future has served
Stidham Cabinet well in its five decades of existence. This continues to be the case today, with an operation that is ever-evolving and making use of the latest technological advancements in order to provide customers with the very best custommade furnishings. Located on Nursery Road in the southern portion of Laurel County, Stidham Cabinet’s 55,000-square-foot facility produces a wide range of products, including countertops, mouldings, and of course, cabinets. These products can be found in many different settings, such as financial institutions, government buildings, educational facilities and residential dwellings, among others.
The business is proudly certified by the Architectural Woodwork Institute (AWI) Quality
Certification Program, which seeks to ensure that interior architectural woodwork meets certain specifications and specific industry standards. They are also certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which sets standards for responsible forest management, and the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (KCMA), for the quality of their residential products.
A prime example of the business striving to stay on the cutting edge of modern technology is a new CEFLA flatline finishing machine that features an oscillating spray coater. This piece of state-of-theart equipment allows for rapid color changes and fast, even coating. It also features infrared dryers that drastically decrease the amount of time that it takes for finish to dry.
Stidham partnered with the Southeast Kentucky Economic Development Corporation (SKED) to fund the purchase of the new finishing machine. A special report distributed by SKED last summer explained that, in addition to their loan, the purchase was also made possible thanks to a grant from the University of Louisville’s Kentucky Manufacturing Extension Partnership’s (MEP) Catalyst Equipment Match (CEM) program.
SKED report explained. To read the report in its entirety, go online to www.skedcorp.com.
In the letter distributed by James Stidham on the day of the plant tours, he chronicles his journey from working with a Sears table saw and some hand tools to overseeing an operation that today includes over 40 employees.
The CEM program provides up to a 50 percent match for investments in capital
“After working in my garage for three years, I built my first shop in 1978,” Stidham wrote. “At this time, everything was done mostly by hand. Hand-driven nails, hand sanding, and brush finishing. I knew that I had to have better tools if there was any hope [of going] anywhere in the future.”
Stidham said that the business operated with “hobby class” tools for a few years, before he was finally able to make the first purchases of commercial grade tools. “The shop was very limited in what we could do, and the product range that we could produce,” he recalls.
Stidham said that he began moving from working with plywood to solid wood in the early 1980s, which required different processes and tools. After visiting a semi-annual woodworking machinery show in Louisville a few years later, he began to better understand how many opportunities there were for advancement.
sander for door parts and finishing assembled doors,” Stidham said. “Before I could buy this machine, I had to have commercial 3 phase power connected to our building. This meant a whole new electrical system and the cost for running the line to our building. This was the first big crossroad, and deciding to go ahead proved to be the pathway to the future.”
From that point forward, Stidham Cabinet continued to take whatever steps necessary to adequately meet consumer demand and expand product lines to meet the needs of customers both large and small. This included beginning to invest in more modern technology in the late-1990s. In the mid-2000s, a much larger shop was constructed and filled with several pieces of high-tech equipment. The advancements and improvements have continued regularly ever since.
A family business
James and Carolyn Stidham have remained as the driving force behind Stidham Cabinet’s continued success. Their good name and standing in the business community has allowed the company to grow from a local player to a name that is now widely recognized across the state of Kentucky.
dent, he is a vital part of day-to-day operations. Assuming another VP role is James and Carolyn’s son-in-law, Stephen Davis.
“The mid-90s brought the additions of my son to the family business, followed closely by a new son-in-law,” James Stidham explained. “With their addition to the future, we began to grow quite rapidly and expand our coverage area as well as doing new and exciting jobs like nursing homes, banks, doctor offices, and other commercial fit-ups, and our residential customers were building larger homes with other requirements besides kitchen cabinets and vanities.”
Along the way, the Stidhams’ son, Jimmy, has grown up in the business and witnessed firsthand
“During this period, we began to transition from commercial tools to industrial grade equipment and
added. “All the change had its roots in the decision in the 80s to add 3 phase power.”
Carolyn Stidham added her own comments about the future of the business being in good hands, as plans are in place to hand it down to the family’s next generation. “It means everything,” she said. “If the children want to continue the family business, that would be wonderful. I hope that it will continue with the grandchildren. We don’t want to put any pressure on them that they have to, but we would certainly like to see it continue.”
Carolyn made it clear, however, that despite the fact that her and James are both beyond retirement age at this point, they have no intention of walking away anytime soon. In fact, they hope to be able to personally oversee further modernization efforts well into the future.
From humble beginnings to now being a leader in the industry, Stidham Cabinet has earned their reputation the right way – through a constant dedication to getting the job right for the customer. Whether it be a major university, a medical facility, banks, or some of their most recent award-winning work at the Mint Gaming Hall in Williamsburg, the Stidham name has become synonymous with quality over these past 50 years.

Since 1991, the Tipton brothers – Jeff and Wes – have been proud to serve the members of their hometown community through their efforts at the Tipton & Tipton law firm, located at 404 Roy Kidd Ave. in Corbin.
The Tiptons have been practicing law professionally for 40 years as of this fall. Jeff Tipton said he feels fortunate that he and his brother have had the opportunity to provide legal services to the people of Corbin and surrounding areas for all that time.
“Over the years we’ve had a pretty successful practice,” Jeff Tipton said. “My brother and I graduated from law school in 1986. Wes came back here immediately and started work for Allen Trimble and Howard Mann. I stayed in Lexington for about three years and worked for a law firm up there. When I came back here, I went in with Allen, Howard and my brother until 1991, when we broke off and started our own firm. We’ve been in this
building on Roy Kidd Avenue ever since.”
The Tiptons have been involved in a lot of banking work throughout their careers, including representing Forcht Bank for the majority of their nearly four decades in practice. Both brothers credit Forcht Bank founder Terry Forcht as the inspiration for how they approach their daily work schedule.
“We’re in here from 8 until about 6 five days a week, and we are here until about 2 o’clock every Saturday,” Jeff explained. “One reason we do that is because Terry Forcht has been one of our mainstays for all these years. He keeps longer hours than that.”
“We have attempted to keep up with his hours, but we have done a poor job with it,” Jeff added with a chuckle.
“We have just pushed continuously every day for years, and that is why we feel like we have had a successful practice,” Wes said. “One thing that we have done is follow someone who has a proven
track record for success, and that is Terry Forcht. If you keep your mind working 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week, then you can’t go wrong.”
In addition to banking work, Jeff Tipton said he and his brother have handled a lot of matters involving real estate over the years. He said they have also spent a great deal of time practicing in general business and personal injury matters. He said that one of the biggest keys to success in all of this is the benefit of keeping well-trained and knowledgeable personnel on staff.
Currently, Tipton & Tipton is comprised of 11 employees –four lawyers and seven staff members. Among those staff members is Faye Boggs, who has been with the firm for the majority of its years in business.
attorneys, as Wes’ own children – Sarah and Wesley – are now practicing alongside their father and uncle in the family business.
“My son, Wesley, and my daughter, Sarah, are both attorneys,” Wes Tipton said proudly. “Sarah is already developing a really good track record as a trial lawyer. Wesley is doing a lot of real estate work. We are very happy about that, that they can come in and carry it on. We are certainly not retiring, but it has been very gratifying.”
In addition to her daily duties in the law office, Boggs also assists the Tiptons with managing the many rental properties that they own throughout the area. The brothers also employ a full-time maintenance technician, Rodney Wood, who helps out with the rentals as well.
Sharon Woolum and Lisa Eaton have now become a part of the practice, providing efficient and courteous service to all clients. Wes’ wife, Lynn Tipton, also works as the firm’s paralegal, overseeing title searches for real estate transactions.
Both Jeff and Wes Tipton make it clear that they have no plans for retiring anytime soon. Still, as time goes on, it is important to keep an eye to the future and recruit young professionals capable of carrying on the legacy that the brothers have established.
As it turns out, the Tiptons didn’t have to look very far to find the next generation of talented
“I always joke with them that they didn’t really prepare me for this job, because they have always handled the stress so well,” said Sarah Tipton-Reeves of her father and her uncle.
“Dad and Jeff both would never bring it home with them in any way, which is what I’m trying to do for my kids now, but I didn’t really know what it was going to be like until after I graduated law school and came back here.”
Sarah graduated from Corbin High School in 2009. She finished up law school in 2016, and after a brief stint in Lexington she returned home, where she has been practicing ever since.
“It’s been really good,” Sarah said. “I have loved every minute of it. I did have a chance to practice law in Lexington for a larger firm for just a little bit, but that was just not what I wanted to do. I love the courtroom experience, and I wasn’t getting that there. It is very hands-on practicing in a small town.”
Elaborating on the experience of getting to practice in her hometown, Sarah said, “We see people on their hard days, but it’s those people that we genuinely care about because they are our fellow community members. That is a huge aspect of why we want to do a good job for folks, and why we answer when they call. It’s because we are very tied to the community, and we want to do good for folks.”
Reflecting on the past ten years, Sarah said, “I feel like I have evolved. Coming out of law school, you are so green. You know conceptually what the law is, but you have absolutely no idea how it applies to a particular judge, how they might rule for you, or how you’re going to handle clients. You don’t know any of that. It is just something that you have to
figure out. They (Jeff and Wes) let me have a lot of free rein on how to figure it all out. It was a little bit painful, but it’s also the best way. My dad and my uncle have been instrumental in showing me the right way to do things.”
“We have tried to do for her what Allen Trimble and Howard Mann did for us,” Jeff Tipton said of his niece. “They gave us a good grounding, showed us what to do, and then turned it over to us.”
Jeff and Wes Tipton have seen a lot over the course of the past four decades in business. They agree that many things have changed, especially when it comes to advances in computer technology and the rise of the Internet, but they also say that many things have stayed the same.
Overall, Wes said that he feels there are many opportunities out there right now for young people looking to get into the profession. However, he advised that those young men and women will definitely need to be willing to put in the necessary hours.
“I highly recommend the practice of law to young people,” Wes said. “For those who are willing to put in the time, it is a great profession. You can raise a family in a small town, have good income, and have an opportunity to build wealth. Except for the medi cal profession, there is probably no other profession

that is as good. And there’s not too many lawyers. There is plenty of work for a young person to come in and do if they want to do it. It does take time, though. I would recommend working on Saturdays, and working the long hours.”
Wes said that he feels there are plenty of opportunities for younger lawyers specifically with smaller cases. “There is a large population out there that is underserved, because a lot of attorneys are just not interested in doing the smaller cases,” he explained, advising that representing individuals in cases that
The motto of the city of Williamsburg is “Feels Like Home.” That is exactly what the staff of the local Hampton Inn by Hilton hopes that their guests will experience during their stay at the hotel.
“The main goal is always the guests’ comfort and happiness,” said General Manager Ana Huddleston, who has been with Hampton Inn for the past nine years. “You want to make them feel safe, and make sure that they are somewhere that is clean.”
Huddleston has gained experience in just about every aspect of hospitality in her time with Hampton Inn. A Williamsburg native, she did not have any prior experience in the industry when she first came to work at the hotel nearly a decade ago, but she
said that she quickly fell in love with it once she got her start. From housekeeping, to managing the front desk, to working in sales, she said that each new title helped prepare her to ultimately take over as GM last spring.
“It helps you to understand your departments better,” Huddleston said about her experience working in a variety of different capacities.
“You’ve worked it, so you know what their days are like and what their needs are. It makes it easier to come up with creative ideas with your department heads, because you’ve been there and you get it.”
Currently, the Hampton Inn by Hilton in Williamsburg employees 23 people, including at the front desk, the kitchen, housekeeping, main-
tenance and laundry service. These employees work together to maintain 68 guest rooms and ensure that guests are offered special amenities, such as an indoor pool, a 24-hour fitness center and complimentary buffet-style breakfast.
The hotel recently underwent a complete remodel that took about four years to finish. Work was wrapped up this past fall, and Huddleston said she couldn’t be happier with the results.
“I love it,” Huddleston said. “I think it is beautiful, and the guests love it as well. They feel like the new style looks cleaner. It is brighter, and they love all the new artwork in the rooms.”
In addition to new artwork, the hotel now has new carpet and tile throughout the facility, new furniture, and new draperies. Huddleston said that the upgrades have led to over-whelmingly positive guest reviews, which has obviously been “wonderful to see.”
As Williamsburg has continued to grow and develop over the years, so has the demand for hotel stays. Hampton Inn has obviously benefitted from this, especially considering the fact that they are conveniently located just off of I-75 Exit 11 at 530 Hwy. 92W. They are also in close proximity to the Mint Gaming Hall – Cumberland, which Huddleston said has definitely brought more people into the area since its opening.
Huddleston said that, overall, activities at the nearby University of the Cumberlands is the number one reason that people will book stays at Hampton Inn. She mentioned that annual graduation ceremonies make for a particularly busy time, and added that other events in the community – such as the Old Fashioned Trading Days Festival – will also regularly bring folks back into town.
Huddleston explained that the hotel also has a few local business accounts with companies like Firestone and Jones Plastic and Engineering, which bring in guests regularly.
“I have noticed since I first started here that we have
seen a lot of occupancy growth,” Huddleston said. “When I was working the front desk and transitioning into sales, we were running, for the year, at about 73 percent occupancy. That has gone up over ten percent since then, which is really good for a small town hotel.”
Huddleston advised that there are a lot of opportunities for people who may be looking to start a career in the hospitality industry. “I would say to give it a shot,” she said. “It might just end up being your dream job. I didn’t know that I was going to love it.”
that she would like to see more guest rooms added to the hotel, pointing out that the demand is often there. She also said that the addition of an on-site meeting area would be useful, as she receives requests frequently for meeting space.
In the end, Huddleston said that she and her fellow staff members make it a point to remember the “Hilton Promise” as they go about the business of taking care of their guests each day.
The main goal is always the guests’ comfort and happiness
“I just needed a job, but it really hit me when I went into sales. It was so exciting going out and finding the business and large groups of people who wanted to stay here. Even if it’s just one person, I like to help make them feel at home even when they’re not at home.”
When asked about the future, Huddleston said
“Your happiness is guaranteed,” Huddleston said when asked to explain what the promise means. “If something goes wrong during your stay, we will do everything we can to make you happy. We will make it right.”

After decades dedicated to higher education in leadership and teaching ministries, Rick Fleenor, a full-time professor at the University of the Cumberlands (UC), is expanding his work beyond the classroom through Right Side Consulting. This new leadership practice is designed to support both personal and professional growth, offering leadership development with certification from the John Maxwell Leadership program.
After graduating from UC in 1985, Fleenor spent several years deeply involved in ministry and additional graduate studies before being invited to return to his alma mater in 1992. After serving for nearly ten years in various administrative roles, he sought to further his education, earning a doctorate in leadership in 2002.
“Leadership was always an area of interest for me, not only for myself, but also in trying to help others grow their own individual personalities and leadership approach,” said Fleenor. “With the doc-
torate degree, it was an opportunity to potentially open some additional doors professionally for me in educational administration.”
With his doctorate, he began as an adjunct instructor in the ministry department, in addition to serving in various administrative roles for several years. In 2018, he was offered a full-time faculty position at UC. When working at UC, employees are expected to further their education and seek professional development opportunities.
Having already read several of John Maxwell’s books and applied his principles through his own professional experience, whether that be helping with church or serving in educational leadership at UC, Fleenor decided to pursue certification through the John Maxwell Leadership Program and received it in August of 2024.
“I saw this as an opportunity to continue to pursue an area of passion and interest,” said Fleenor.
This certification gave Fleenor access to exclusive resources from John Maxwell, whom he
describes as a “world-renowned leadership expert and author.” Maxwell has authored more than 90 books on various aspects of leadership, offering a wealth of knowledge on the subject.
“My opinion really doesn’t carry a lot of weight,” said Fleenor. “Rather than try to speak as Rick Fleenor, which probably doesn’t mean anything to many folks, here was an opportunity that I had that was ready, proven, well-established, tried, and had tested resources available.”
Fleenor was already helping others through ministry and administration. Right Side Consulting is a way for him to help others beyond his role at UC.
Right Side Consulting aims for clients to leave with encouragement, insight, greater understanding, practical resources, direction, and clarity.
It allows him to go beyond what he’s already done and reach a larger audience.
“Throughout my career, I’ve done one-on-one coaching and mentoring on occasion. I’ve spoken to groups on various topics, oftentimes as it would relate to ministry or educational situations,” said Fleenor. “Now, that really can be fleshed out in so many different ways. It can be individual life coaching, helping folks work through unique situations and circumstances, or group coaching, like helping a small staff or small company work through challenging communications and learn how to better communicate and function together. It can help an organization determine purpose, values, and business strategies.”
“Life is about navigating various changes,” said Fleenor. “Some of those, we have choices in. Others, we don’t get to choose, but we could use help navigating through. No matter where you find yourself, there is always hope.”
“There are always opportunities, and the past does not have to define you. I get excited about helping folks try to figure out what that could be.”
According to its website, Right Side Consulting offers workshops, seminars, keynote speaking, and coaching to facilitate personal and professional growth using John Maxwell’s proven leadership methods.
Leadership was always an area of interest for me, not only for myself, but also in trying to help others grow their own individual personalities and leadership approach.
Fleenor has organized upcoming workshops focused on elevating leadership, enhancing communication, and expanding participants’ influence. He plans to base the sessions on six of John Maxwell’s books, including “Developing the Leader Within You,” “Becoming a Person of Influence,” and “High Road Leadership.”
Workshops are scheduled for Wednesdays, 1:00–2:30 p.m., on Feb. 11, Feb. 25, March 11, March 25, April 8, and April 22 at the Williamsburg Tourism and Convention Center, located at 650 S. 10th St. in Williamsburg.
Fleenor credits those who invested in him and believes in paying it forward, acknowledging that he reached his position with the support of others.
“I have been blessed in so many ways by people who have invested in me throughout my lifetime,” said Fleenor. “My goal is to pay it forward, and to make sure there’s a good return on that investment.”
For more information or to register for these workshops, visit https://offer.rightsideconsultingllc. com/leadership-pds-opt-in-111428.
With only 25 in-person spots available, early registration is recommended.
