My family made a life for us in a place called Deep Creek Lake, MD. Our father- Joe Spiker- spent his days building communities and custom homes. He passed away a few years ago and after 50 years in the business I picked up where he left off. Our company has the same quality and custom approach with a newer generation running it. Ever since answering phones at the age of 11 yrs.. old, this has been our life. We met a lot of amazing customers and continue to work for some of the best people around. Lots of life lessons have been taught growing up in a family business and then raising my children in it. Years ago, I meet this guy with a WV accent and realized that I was about to be launched into the Country Music Business. What an adventure that has been over the past 12 years. Four albums and thousands of miles traveling, we are still at it. You can hear Steve's music at SteveSmithMusicSite.comWe started working with a great Non-Profit, Legacies Alive that provides unwavering support to Gold Star Families. If you would like more information on that organization we encourage you to visit, LegaciesAlive.com. In my spare time you can find me in the barn with my horses. With that I will leave you with a few Joe Spiker tidbits: 1. Just because you have to go through the pig pen doesn't mean you have to get down with them and waller. 2. While others are trying to get in the front door, go look for the kitchen door because all of the good stuff happens in the kitchen.
