Established in 1997.

Business Owner

David Worthington and Eric Bigelow grew up in Northern Alabama and have spent most of their lives serving the public. They first worked together in 1981 at a local restaurant. They quickly realized that they worked extremely well together. Working «in-​sync» they would accomplish what would normally require a team of 4 – 5. It was obvious from the beginning that they were great co-​workers, paid great attention to detail and shared a passion for taking care of others.

David’s Aunt Shirley traveled abroad in Europe and returned with stories of unique small inns where she had stayed. Even as a child, this sparked David’s interest. Since a young age he has loved old homes and southern architecture. In 1978 David started his career in the restaurant industry and worked in that field until 1990.
