William Thomas | william.thomas@citylifestyle.com

Home. It is meant to be a place of retreat, rest, love, and a shelter from the outside world—a place where you can let your guard down and just be. Some homes feel just like that, and some can be filled with conflict and strife. It is never too late to change the climate of our homes.

In a world that can be cruel, let the home be a place where we build each other up. Make a continual effort to teach with love, correct with love and express love everyday. Take time to enjoy all the small moments with family instead of getting caught up in all the daily tasks that can steal our attention away—to be truly present when spending time with our family instead of dividing our attention with our technology or to-do list. Although we usually aren’t perfect at accomplishing these things, it is worthwhile to strive for it everyday.

March is our Home and Design issue. Creating a home that you want to spend all of your time in isn’t easy. The memories that are made within the walls of our home are what lasts regardless if our home has the latest trends or if it hasn’t been updated in years. While it is fun to look at beautiful homes and dream about renovations, we all know that the love we share in our homes is truly what matters most. From our home to yours, we wish you love, peace and happiness.

OUTSTANDING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT ATHLETE OF THE MONTH

Sponsored by Jon C. Thompson, MD

Mason Nowak

| Prosper HS

If you are looking for Mason Nowak, chances are you will find him at the Children’s Health StarCenter in McKinney on the ice. He learned to skate when he was 8 and never stopped chasing the puck. Today, he is a dedicated senior in Prosper High, splitting his time between the ice and the classroom.

Mason’s passion for ice hockey has landed him on two competitive hockey teams. He plays competitive hockey on both the Varsity Prosper Eagles team as well as on the 18U AA McKinney North Stars travel team.

Juggling an intensive hockey training / practice schedule is never an easy feat, but Mason successfully manages his busy hockey training schedule for both teams with multiple practice days/times, and still achieves academic success, even with multiple AP classes on his schedule.

His leadership skills on and off the ice have earned him the position of being Captain of the Prosper Varsity team, and Assistant Captain on the McKinney North Stars team. Previously, he was Assistant Captain the Prosper Varsity team in 2020, and Captain of the Fox Valley Hawks in Geneva, IL in 2018 and 2019.

Cups. It is easy to see where he got his hockey inspiration from!

The Varsity Head Coach and Hockey Director Yev Saidachev and Varsity Assistant Coach and Goalie Coach Kenny Carroll both recognize Mason as an outstanding student athlete on their Prosper team.

In June 2020, Mason moved to Texas with his family from Saint Charles, IL. Currently, he is a senior at Prosper High school, focusing on Business Management and Administrative Service, and looking forward to going to college later this year. His goal is to major in Accounting and to start a career with the FBI.

Mason started his hockey career in Illinois when he was just eight years old and joined his first travel hockey team when he was ten. He grew up in Illinois and watched the Chicago Blackhawks win 3 coveted Stanley

As for hockey, he plans to continue to grow his career by playing college club hockey or Junior hockey.

To stay satiated try crowding out your plate with more fruits and vegetables. Simple movement, like walking, for 30-minutes a day rewards you with incredible health benefits. No one is perfect so commit to healthy eating 80% of the time. And lastly, get support from a friend or health coach!

Lena Smith –– Going Above and Beyond YOUR NORTH TEXAS AREA REAL ESTATE SPECIALIST ARTICLE BY ALEXIS JACOBS PHOTOGRAPHY BY RHONDA SMIGA

“Everything in life is replaceable, but the people.”

The housing market is booming, and North Texas is one of the nation’s most competitive and fastest growing areas. Lena Smith, Owner and Top Producer at The Lena Smith Group, is one of the key players in this area's booming market.

Smith has over 30 years of hands-on experience in all phases of Texas’s home sales, marketing, construction, and design. With a very rare Luxury Home Specialist certification, Smith has managed over 2.4 billion in sales and is in the top 500 agents in Dallas. As a listing agent with Compass, she brings more to the table than most realtors.

"I can use innovative digital technologies that are top of the line and elite in the industry, allowing me to provide customized marketing strategies for every client," says Smith. "The services I can provide are light years ahead of others in the industry.”

Smith prides herself on a high level of professionalism and her vast industry knowledge. She has served as National Director of Sales and as Vice President in the home building industry. She spent a year cross-training in home construction, giving her the ability to know the ins and outs of the building process.

She is also an award-winning interior

designer, earning over a dozen awards and accolades for her designs.

“I love continuing education. One should never stop learning,” says Smith. “To be the best you need to be a sponge and soak up all the knowledge that you can.”

While Smith is well known throughout the home building industries, it is what she does outside of the office that truly matters most. Faith plays a large role in her life. She is a caretaker at heart and loves helping people, especially those in need. She volunteers with various nonprofit organizations and she and her husband, Ray, recently founded Grand Love, a non-profit helping support grandparents who have found themselves raising their grandchildren.

“I want my legacy to be that I loved people. That I loved deeply and made a difference in this world,” says Smith. “Everything in life is replaceable, but the people.”

Talking to Smith is like taking a breath of fresh air. You can hear the passion in every word she speaks, whether it be about her realty business or her volunteer work. If you are thinking of selling, buying, or even remodeling your current home, Lena Smith would love to talk to you. She can be reached via email at thelenasmithgroup@gmail.com or via phone at 469.271.7100.

CertaPro Painters of Far N o r t h Te x a s PROFESSIONALS BY YOUR SIDE - LEAVING YOU TIME FOR WHAT MATTERS MOST

ARTICLE BY AMY HENDRICKS Chances are, if you’ve owned a home or business, you’ve painted it at some point. Maybe you tried to do it yourself, only to come to the conclusion that the next time it would be wise to hire a professional team. CertaPro Painters are just the team you’re looking for.

Locally owned and operated by Gary and Tina Barton, CertaPro can handle both residential and commercial painting projects. Don’t be surprised if you hire them for more than one project, as having ‘a customer for life’ is their goal.

Gary, a former banker and a self-proclaimed ‘do-it-yourselfer,’ wanted to find a community business that he and Tina, his wife of thirty years, could operate together. With a passion for customer service and a heart for families, CertaPro Painting was the perfect fit. “Painting is surprisingly emotional,” says Gary. “It’s the quickest, easiest, and most affordable way to totally transform your home or business.”

Owners Tina and Gary Barton

CertaPro provides a full range of interior and exterior painting services: sheetrock and drywall repair, power washing, staining of decks and fencing, and interior and exterior painting. They’re also skilled in the current home renovation trends of exterior brick painting and cabinet refinishing and painting.

What can you expect when working with CertaPro? You’ll receive an honest estimate on the cost of your project, project timeline, assistance in choosing paint colors and finishes, the highest quality paints, a skilled crew that cleans up all tools and materials around the project site at the end of each working day, and 100% satisfaction. “We hang our hat on three things…quality, service and a fair price,” Gary says proudly.

The Bartons have built CertaPro into a successful business with an A+ Better Business Bureau rating and a 4.9 Google rating, with more than

430 reviews. They’ve worked equally hard to build a team that works together as a family and serves the community. Together, their team supports the organization Carry The Load, which honors sacrifices made by our military, veterans, and first responders. They also partner with Breast Cancer Research Foundation during October and November to “Paint It Pink.” Last year, CertaPro raised $119,890 for breast cancer research!

Whether working in their business or the community, the Bartons strive to honor their values of character, integrity, and building relationships. “We exist to make a meaningful difference to families and desire to witness a sea of thriving families all around us.”

STEEL DOOR COMPANY OPENS LOCALLY, FEATURING CUSTOM STEEL DOORS AND WROUGHT IRON DESIGNS

Ferro Steel Doors Finds Its Home in McKinney

Tatiana Ruiz

I NSP IR E D BY | HOM E + DE S I GN

Ferro Steel Doors opened its state-of-the-art showroom in August 2021 and quickly has become the “go-to” company for custom steel and iron doors in the Metroplex. The showroom features 1,200 square feet of custom wrought iron doors and railings, steel doors, and windows. While the showroom and website feature many modern and traditional designs, everything is 100 percent customizable.

“We’re very excited to share the absolute best iron and steel doors in McKinney,” said Tatiana Ruiz, Owner and Founder. “The new showroom shares our love of custom, handforged door and window designs.”

Ruiz moved to McKinney four years ago and has seen first-hand how much the area has grown and wanted to help contribute to that growth.

No one else in the area does custom steel designs so choosing McKinney as the location for their showroom was an easy decision.

Ferro Steel Doors clientele include contractors, builders, and homeowners. More and more homes and businesses are using steel in their designs, as it is extremely durable and very easy to work with. From cutting to welding to painting, there are few limitations to what designs can be done.

“We have changed the way people saw our materials,” says Ruiz.

“We’re proud of every custom design that comes out of our store.”

First opening in Dallas in 2013, this family-owned company has perfected every aspect of the steel and wrought iron business. Ferro Steel Doors prides itself on being a one-stop store.

From the personal consultations to the custom design process to the manufacturing to professional installation, clients will have the assurance that they will get the best quality, price, lead time, and service.

“We deliver a finished product guarantee. Our clients can always expect the best and we make sure they are 100 percent happy," says Ruiz. "Our motto is always under-promise and over-deliver."

26

I NSP IR E D BY | HOM E + DE S I GN

Ferro Steel Doors has seen fast growth in just the short six months they have been open. The goal is to expand and open other locations in the area. Their research and design consultants are working on developing several products that the competition does not have, such as European-style doors and technology, while perfecting their materials and continuing to grow.

Being one of two female-owned and operated steel door businesses in the area, Ruiz describes herself as a very girlie girl in a very masculine world.

“I like to surprise people,” exclaimed Ruiz. “I place a high emphasis on listening to my client’s needs and can vison each project, from start to finish. I feel I really connect with my clients.”

The McKinney Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting at Ferro Steel Doors on February 1st. Ferro Steel Doors is located at 1411 N Custer Road, Suite 1100, and open Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm. For more information stop by the showroom or visit FerroDoors.com.

Many Americans share the dream of wanting to start a business; only some are driven, determined and fortunate enough to make that dream a reality. Blake Luby is the proud owner of not one, but two local businesses: DFW Fence Pro and DFW Roofing Pro. Although they’re separate entities, both were built from the same passion and now operate together as business family.

While in his teens, Blake was an avid golfer, playing professionally on mini tours. He says he was considering dozens of golf scholarship offers when fate changed his course. A serious vehicle accident during his senior year in high school resulted in a shoulder injury and derailed his plans. Instead of leaving for college, he recovered from the accident and went to work for his mom’s neighbor, who owned a landscaping business. Although it was a different path from his original plans, he says he found himself gaining valuable skills and experience, such as sales, becoming bi-lingual and getting his agricultural and pesticide licenses.

Blake then went on to work for Valley Crest, the company responsible for maintaining the beautiful landscaping at Disney World, and furthered his knowledge and experience on a larger scale.

He says he saved money and eventually purchased his own trailer and spray rig, which allowed him to open his own, full-service landscaping company. By the time he turned 22, he’d built and sold three landscaping businesses.

The hard work and business knowledge Blake gained in his early years has allowed him to make DFW Fence Pro and DFW Roofing Pro into the thriving businesses they are today. He also attributes his mom, Donna Luby, with instilling in him a strong work ethic. “She raised me with a no-excuses mentality,” he lovingly remembers.

He runs his businesses alongside a very tight-knit team that includes his brother, Brandon. Blake considers his team to be all one big family, whether they’re related or not.

Kailyn Palladino, who works on the fence team, says she “loves how each person has a role, and can be trusted 100% to do their job.” Kailyn’s husband, Bryce, also works alongside her. Blake refers to Bryce and Brandon as ‘his right-hand men.’ Kailyn jokes, “Bryce and Blake have the same brain.”

DFW Fence Pro, the oldest of Blake's two businesses, offers a full range of both residential and commercial fence installation and repair services, including wood and wrought iron fences, as well as custom gates. Their crew can assist in selecting the best option for yards and also match lifestyles and budgets, keeping in mind aesthetics, privacy needs, maintenance and functionality. In addition, DFW Fence Pro offers same-day, 24/7 emergency fence repair and replacement to support their clients after installation.

Blake emphasizes the skill and experience his fence crew possesses. “All they do is fences. They’re not just handymen,” he says.

DFW Roofing Pro offers a full range of both residential and commercial roofing repair and replacement services, including roof tune-up, gutter replacement and installation, water restoration, garage door repair and installation, painting, siding repair and installation, drywall repair and installation and concrete work.

Shortly after DFW Roofing Pro began, McKinney experienced two huge hailstorms, which created rapid growth for the company. Blake recalls that he was once told he wouldn’t make it in the roofing business because it was too difficult.

He’s definitely proven that prediction wrong.

Both companies are members of the Good Contractors list, have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, boast a lifetime workmanship warranty and timely completion on their work, have bonded and insured crews, state-of-theart equipment, and around-the-clock emergency customer support. The general contractors in both DFW Fence Pro and DFW Roofing Pro state they can handle the full scope of any insurance claim, which is paramount during Texas hail seasons. Their teams also guide customers through relevant codes and restrictions. They support customers through approval processes, including providing concise and timely plans and descriptions for the approving parties, while making any needed adjustments for a quick turnaround.

Blake says his favorite element about both of his businesses is “helping customers and seeing them happy with the completed job.”

“We strive for 100% satisfaction, and we’re committed to excellence. The biggest thing for us is referrals from other happy customers," says Blake, who has lived in and operated in the McKinney region for more than 20 years.

Outside of work, Blake still enjoys spending time with his work family by hosting steak dinners at his house and even going on trips together. He has two young boys, Hudson (10) and Hayes (8). His fiancée, Morgan, also has a son, Knox (3).

He’s already started sharing his love of golf with their boys.

Given the strong work ethic coursing through the family, perhaps the boys will carry on the family business someday.

Dr. Jensen and his Friendly, Caring and Professional Team!

We live in a world where “free consultations” and a promise for a beautiful smile are on every corner, billboard, and social media ad. So where do you go to look for someone who will truly care about you and your family? I can tell you it’s not by clicking ads for a free consultation on Facebook! How do I know? Because, just like you, I have been there.

After two years of searching for a dental professional that cared enough to listen to my concerns and needs, I finally gave up. That is—until I walked into Dr. Jensen’s office. I could sense there was something different as soon as I entered the reception area. His team members were kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. The reception area walls were decorated with a beautiful butterfly collection provided by Dr. Jensen’s wife, Cherie. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting. Dr. Jensen walked out, shook my hand, and greeted me with a genuine smile. After a thorough discussion, it was easy to see he truly loves what he does. His professional hallmark is that he understands the very complexities of my dental concerns but is able to convey that to me in clear, simple terms with sincerity and honesty. He understands and knows my case and each case.

His patients are not just a number, but rather people that he truly invests in.

Dr. Jensen is not only an orthodontist but is also a prosthodontist. What’s the difference you ask? Well, best I can articulate is that an orthodontist is a specialist in the biomechanics of tooth movement, while a prosthodontist is a specialist who reconstructs worn, broken or missing teeth—unlike any regular dentist. But the two specialties blend together quite nicely in creating super smiles and functionally balanced teeth.

Initially, Dr. Jensen received his dental degree from Baylor College of Dentistry. At that point, he could have opened a practice and gone to work, but he could see he had only scratched the surface and was instead determined to set himself apart. His specialist training began with prosthodontics at UT San Antonio, where he was a resident for three years. This was high-level training that taught complex treatment planning and refined hand skills. During this residency, Dr. Jensen took on complicated interdisciplinary patients which often required orthodontics as part of their plan. He then undertook another residency in orthodontics, becoming the first dual specialist in prosthodontics and orthodontics to ever graduate from UT San Antonio. He is currently one of only a handful of these “aardvarks” in North America with dual certificates in both specialties.

Dr. Jensen is a board-certified orthodontist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics—a voluntary distinction that is only achieved by 25 percent of practicing orthodontists.

His accolades include Patients’ Choice Award Winner and D Magazine best dentist multiple years running. He is also recognized for his charity work with Smiles Change Lives program.

Family, community, and church are all of paramount importance to Dr. Jensen. He is service-oriented, hands-on, and passionate about life. He has been in private practice for 15 years.

Dr. Jensen Loves to Fly!

Interestingly, while Dr. Jensen was in college at BYU he minored in the Korean language. He took a break from college and his own pursuits and served among the Korean people in Korea as a missionary for two years. A year and a half of that time was spent among the Korean deaf people, where he had to master Korean sign language to be able to communicate. It was there he gained a new respect for people from faraway lands, their language, their customs, and the reality that there are different cultures who look at the world differently than we do in America. This taught him a unique perspective on people.

As a matter of other interests, Dr. Jensen enjoys photography and even offers one-on-one photoshoots with his patients. Many of these faces are on display in his office. As a teenager he really loved aviation and wanted to become a pilot. He earned his license when he was seventeen. Obviously, he went a different route for a career, but he still stays current and flies today. His mother was a piano teacher and taught him to play at a young age.

He makes time to practice nearly daily and is sometimes asked to play for various reasons in church. He even sings with Millennial Choirs and Orchestras (MCO), an organization whose purpose is to soften hearts, improve lives, and unite communities across

America by creating beautiful sacred and classical music that praises God. He has performed in the Myerson Symphony Center in Dallas and even in Carnegie Hall in New York.

Dr. Jensen lives in Prosper and places strong importance on family and people. He believes when he is home it should be about home. When he and his daughter Liberty spend time together, he is quick to put away electronics so he can focus on the time they spend together doing home projects and the like. He says that finding a work/home balance can be challenging, but that “people business” should take precedent over nearly everything else in life.

It is easy to see certificate credentials on the wall and think they’re all the same, but we rarely get a glimpse of the person behind the credentials which would set him apart. Dr. Jensen is the real deal. Patients have moved from thousands of miles away to receive his care. You too are sure to observe all the skill, passion, and honesty that inspired me to put my trust in his care for my family.

PURE AIR QUALITY CHAPMAN AIR & HEAT PROFESSIONAL HVAC SERVICE PROVIDER IS A DEPENDABLE, FAIR REPAIR PARTNER THAT’S PROVEN THEMSELVES OVER TIME

Air -- the most essential element of life (besides chocolate)! That's why Chapman Air & Heat professionals make it their mission to make customers' in-home air quality the best it can be.

“I had a dream to create an ethical, profitable company that was an asset to the community. Nothing is more important to quality of life than the quality of the place you spend the most time," says Marvin Chapman, founder in 1981 and current owner.

For four decades, Marvin has helped people achieve this goal of healthy air quality. He had an idea that he was able to bring to life: To provide innovative, quality air conditioning to the North Texas area. While doing this, he says he also wanted to provide a workplace through which his employees could grow and thrive. "Happy employees, a team if you will, would allow the company to thrive while providing an essential service."

The result was a company that individual homeowners, as well as builders and commercial clients, have come to trust and rely on for their indoor air comfort and quality needs. Marvin, as a talented engineer, oversees all aspects of the systems the company installs.

In addition to being the company owner, Marvin is mentor, teacher and friend to his employees. The Chapman Air staff indicates that they work as a team to tackle any project, no matter the size, handling anything from a filter change to replacing multiple systems -- all done with efficiency and expediency.

"We've had great success up to this point," reflects Marvin. "Right now, North Texas is growing by leaps and bounds. Our goal is to be the best provider to both new arrivals to the area and families who are well-established here. We are at the forefront of the technologies that will keep them safe and comfortable."

He says they are enthused about the following innovative technologies: • LED light filtration systems that can kill 99.9% of illness-causing viruses, making air in homes as safe as it possibly can be.

• HEPA-rated filters for additional particle removal from the air.

• Whole house humidification systems to make the winter months significantly more comfortable.

• Variable speed air conditioning equipment that is extremely energy efficient, as well as being able to keep the temperature at precisely the temperature you desire.

"All this can even be controlled from your smart phone," Marvin adds.

Chapman Air offers one-day replacement of residential and commercial air conditioning systems, striving to deliver stress-free experiences to customers. They also offer maintenance plans to keep customers' equipment working at peak performance and to avoid breakdowns. Their technicians receive weekly training, and are knowledgeable about the most up-to-date industry trends and innovations.

Additionally, 24-hour emergency service is available from the company.

"By applying a simple approach of 'honor our customers with the truth' and by providing personnel that are reliable and professional, we've become one of the largest residential and commercial service providers in our market. As an industry leader for 42 years, we hope to continue to help people, both in these difficult times and well into the future, with value, innovation and respect," assures Marvin, who is proud that the company is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau.
