What do you love about Roanoke?

Enquist: “I love the beauty of the Roanoke Valley and all the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors! From hiking, biking, boating, to you name it, it’s probably here! I also love the diversity of people who live here and I am able to interact with on a daily basis. This is definitely one of the friendliest places I have been blessed to live in. …Roanoke has the big city amenities with a small-town feel. We have all the opportunities for a good time with all our specialty local restaurants, wineries, breweries, concerts and community events…without all the crazy traffic. There is so much amazing potential and opportunity for growth, for anyone who wants to pursue their dreams and is willing to put the work in. It is a great place for my wife and I to raise our four children and be able to give them great experiences, relationships and opportunity to grow.”

I also have an amazing company team and investor partners who all work together to make a difference. Some of the ways I am blessed to be able to live this out is by serving my many customers by transforming their home or office into their dream living environment, purchasing and repositioning apartment complexes to give our tenants and investors the best experience possible, and providing life and business coaching to groups or individuals through my Vital 7 Success Program.”
