Chris Popple is an amazing Entrepreneur in every sense of the word.  Chris and his then, bride-to-be Melissa, wanted something different as a floral arrangement for their center piece on their wedding day but were unable to find a florist that could deliver their request.  So, Chris and his groomsmen pulled together, last minute, an incredible center piece that had all the guests talking.

Chris and Melissa had such amazing feedback that they decided to venture out on their own and open a boutique type florist.  They bring tastes from all over the world having lived in Australia, the Far-East, London, New York to their shop located on Main Street in Middletown.

The business has flourished and Chris and Melissa have adapted with the times even offering courses and Do-It-Yourself classes for Brides.

Sean Quill explains how after nearly 2 decades in the corporate world he took the plunge to running his own insurance agency in Frederick 3 years ago in the Spring of 2012.  Sean, having grown up in Frederick county, first being raised near the Urbana area and then later in the Union Bridge area and graduating from Walkersville and then choosing to raise his family in Frederick has roots that run deep locally.

After graduating from Frostburg in depressed job market in the late 1990s, Sean took a ‘sabbatical’ to Colorado where he worked on a ranch and honed one of his passions, Skiing.  Sean returned to Frederick County, this time landing an account services job.  He worked his way up the corporate ladder becoming a commercial lender with Farmers and Mechanics Bank.  After that Sean landed a job with Sandy Spring Bank where he was a commercial lender until 2012.

Sean had known his insurance agent since he was growing up in Frederick and when the opportunity for him to hand-pick his successor Sean was at the top of his list.  Sean, with the support of his wife Heather and two daughters, Khloe and Kampbell took the plunge into running his own business and becoming an Entrepreneur.

Sean explains how you need to be careful of your insurance policy and that you want to make sure that you are adequately insured for your home, auto, and life.  Being under-insured is a liability that could cause financial hardship and that the few dollars a month you might save on a premium could cost you dearly when insurance is needed.

Nationwide has a niche with commercial insurance and this is something that Sean uses to his advantage with this commercial banking background.

In his spare time you can probably catch Sean, Heather and his daughters on the slopes in the winter or Sean is always volunteering his time and services in the community with Alive at 5, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, and Tourism Council.

If you are looking for insurance or just want a policy review, make sure you give Sean a call.

Shari Auldridge has had a passion for Staging and interior design from a young age.  Shari used to travel as a Military BRAT with her father being in the Air Force and Shari and her mom would view Model Homes that is where her love of Staging started.

Having grown up moving with her family from location to location Shari knows just what it takes to prepare a home properly and even takes some of her personal stories and experiences with her on her Staging Appointments.

The most unique place that Shari lived while growing up in the military was a 4 year stint in Japan from 2nd grade to 5th grade.  Shari then tells us of the little things that we take for granite like K-Mart and McDonalds when her family’s next stop was back in Texas.

Staged Above has been around for 3 years and the biggest hurdle that Shari has encountered in her journey of business owner/Entrepreneur has been balancing the role of mother and business owner.  With 4 kids, ranging from 9 to 18, and a successful business it is with the support of her husband that she is able to juggle such a busy schedule.

Shari not only does vacant Staging, where she will bring in furniture and finishings to a home to make it show and photograph well but she also does occupied consults with home owners that are getting ready to sell and need to get that ‘buyer’s eye’ for potential buyers.  Shari’s bedside manner with sellers is one that is easy going as she always takes time to let the homeowner know WHY a particular piece of furniture must be moved or artwork be added to the wall.

If you want to learn more Shari and even see some before and after pictures check her out at www.StagedAbove.com or find her on Facebook.
