After reading more, you will understand why we have gained the confidence of our clients.
ROGER MARTIN, Owner / Designer / Master Woodworker
With 20 years of woodworking and design experience, Roger has mastered his trade. He specializes in creating freestanding pieces of fine furniture and designing stylish built-ins and kitchens. Roger is passionate about using the natural beauty of wood, and he especially loves using the unique qualities and grain patterns of individual boards to create pieces that are uniquely artistic. This results in projects where the wood itself is as much a consideration as the function of the piece. Roger enjoys the time he and his wife, Julie, spend meeting with clients. Roger makes it a point to be personally involved with every project from the first meeting, to the design, throughout the manufacturing and finishing process and even at installation. Because of this approach, Roger can ensure that the product we deliver is worthy of the Lasting Impressions name. Now that's quality control.
JULIE MARTIN, Interior Decorator / Marketing
Julie comes to us with over 15+ years of experience in Sales / Marketing, Customer Service and Personnel Management. Having worked for a number of successful Fortune 500 companies in the United States, Julie brings a unique perspective to our team. Her energy, approachability and confidence in her product put people at ease and makes doing business with her a pleasure. She has been afforded many opportunities to travel throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, North America and Central America, which have infused her natural flair for interior decor with a punch of international flavour. Julie's keen sense of style and eye for colour has been a real benefit to our clients, whether on calls with Roger, or on her own working strictly with interior decor clients or staging homes to sell in her real estate business.

ERNIE & CAROL MARTIN, The "Mom and Pop" of the business
The parents of Roger have also become the "Mom and Pop" of Lasting Impressions & Company Inc. Their support of their son's dream to start his own business many years ago has continued as the vision of the company has expanded. Ernie and Carol have not only offered their support and encouragement, but have been a great source of strength to everyone within the company. Ernie is quick to run errands, fix a machine or help out with the bookkeeping, and Carol is our strongest cheerleader. Having them a part of our business is a reminder of the core values they taught their children...gain without integrity is loss.
KEVIN CADILHA, Custom Finisher
Kevin, has over ten years of custom finishing experience. Knowing the quality of work and productivity Kevin is capable of, we were confident that he would be a great fit for our company. Having invested a lot of time, efforts and resources in our custom finishing department, we are operating this part of our business at a very high level of efficiency, for our own woodworking projects and for the other projects we finish for other local cabinemakers. Therefore, continued efforts have been put forth to continue growing this part of our business. Kevin is truly an asset to our Custom Finishing department.
