Raised on the Island as well, Wendy’s daughter Melisa grew up immersed in its natural beauty. While she admired her mother’s mechanical talents, her own passions leaned toward the living world around her. Melisa found inspiration in the Orcas that travel the surrounding waters and in the native plants that define the Island’s landscape. Her interests reflect a deep respect for nature, sustainability, and preserving the environment for future generations.

Together, Wendy and Melisa embody the balance between tradition and evolution—combining decades of practical expertise with a forward-looking appreciation for the Island’s natural heritage. Their shared roots and complementary passions continue to shape the values and story behind their work, honoring the past while embracing the future.
