  • Rebekah Awtry

    Designing interior spaces is my passion!  I have been fortunate to be in a 20 year career that I absolutely love.  From decorating to remodeling construction, design is always fascinating and never gets old!  My favorite part of being an Interior Designer is sharing the importance of WHY good design and function are important and how hiring me as your designer can actually save you stress, time and money.

    I remember when I changed my college major from playing the violin to interior design.  I spent most of my weekends walking the town square touring the many antique malls.  I loved the old architecture of the buildings as well as the beautifully crafted antique furniture.  I have a passion for good design that encompasses balance and scale along with the importance of style and function.  I like for my designs to be classic, meaning modern or traditional, with a bit of unexpected edge. 

    Convenient scheduling is available on my website.  I also offer virtual online appointments.

  • Ron Blumka

    Ron Blumka

    In high school, I discovered I had an affinity for numbers and how those concepts related to the broader world of business. This early interest developed into a serious pursuit of accounting at Case Western Reserve University as an undergraduate and then finance as a graduate student. Learning about and understanding the role of accounting in peoples’ lives transitioned into the deep respect I have for my profession, the epitome of which, was becoming a CPA. The approach I take when it comes to clients is one influenced by many years in the corporate environment. Prior to starting my practice in October 1986, I was a corporate controller for a Cleveland, Ohio general contractor/real estate developer, a CFO for a company in Midland, Texas in the energy sector and subsequently as the Americas CFO for a Dallas, Texas based Dutch-owned company in the aviation repair industry.

    Lessons learned then are continuing to be applied when working with my business clients. I provide strategic opportunities to maximize profits and manage tax issues. The satisfaction of being able to provide information which enables a client to plan prudently, capture economic opportunities, and identify tax consequences motivates my work. Being able to represent a business or individual client’s best interest begins with what I consider to be my core beliefs: I am 1) probative, 2) responsive, and 3) proactive. By following these three precepts I represent a client in a manner that is both personable and professional. This becomes the basis for any inquiries involving one’s business, planning or IRS matters. I listen with the ears of a CPA (Client Psycho Analyst) so that I can provide the level of personalized service each client expects and deserves.
