Hi, I’m Stacey.

(The Abridged Story)

I’ve spent most of my life being the person you can trust with things that matter.

For more than 30 years, I worked alongside my family in the global explosives demolition industry, where I learned to pay attention to the details, prepare thoroughly, and take responsibility for what’s been entrusted to me.

It also taught me something that would follow me into every chapter that came afterward:

No two structures are exactly alike.

An unexpected personal journey into wellness eventually led Bob, my life partner, and me to create Truth Mind & Body, a 6,000-square-foot wellness center in Sparks, Maryland. There, I discovered the same principle in an entirely different way:

No two people are exactly alike.

As that chapter began drawing to a close, I found myself contemplating the next adventure.

The answer brought together a lifetime of loving animals, an affinity for details and organization, decades of solving problems, and a desire to spend less time behind a desk and more time actually doing.

Haven.

I created Haven for people whose lives don’t always fit neatly into a list of services. Sometimes you need help caring for an animal. Sometimes it’s your home. Sometimes you simply need another capable person you trust to handle something.

And just as no two structures or people are exactly alike:

No two households are exactly alike.

That’s the philosophy behind Haven and the standard I use when choosing the people who join me here.

Pay attention. Understand what is in front of you. Respect the details.

And take responsibility for what’s been entrusted to you.

That’s Haven.
