Today's episode features world renowned luxury cabinet designer, Christopher Peacock. Since the launch of Christopher Peacock Cabinetry in 1992, he now has showrooms across America and worldwide, as his commitment to quality and design is apparent in his products and service.

In this episode Christopher will talk about his upbringing and start in London, England, and how he made it here to the States where he took his life lessons and skills and turned them into a highly recognized brand in our industry. We chat about how the pandemic has impacted his company and the industry overall, his design process, some of his high-profile clients and projects, and life in general.

Helping the Homeless with Jason Barlow & Chris Owen of Habitat for Humanity

In today’s episode, Mark speaks with Jason Barlow, President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona and Chris Owen, former Banking Executive turned Real Estate Agent and Chairman of the Board at Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona. Habitat is celebrating their 35th year in the Valley of the Sun and have now built more than 1,160 homes and renovated or repaired thousands more since 1985. “As long as God continues to bless us with amazing volunteers and generous sponsors like you, we will continue to grow our efforts,” says Barlow.

The need for housing has become more essential than ever given the pandemic and hot real estate market here in Phoenix, and Habitat for Humanity fills this need for many locals struggling to afford housing. Since the outbreak, 12 new homes have been completed and their five Habitat ReStores have reopened for business along with their offices. The Habitat Central AZ team is currently planning the construction of 46 new homes through next Spring, and hundreds of other homes will be repaired or renovated.

In a past podcast episode, we recorded on-site of a Habitat home build where we interviewed Jason Barlow, a few volunteers and even the man who was going to be inhabiting this new house! He was there helping out as well and his joy was so apparent and touching and he had a sense of pride as he got to help build the house as well. Definitely go back and give that episode page a view as there are some great photos and a great podcast interview: candelariadesign.com/podcast-content/habitat 

Last June, Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona hosted a virtual fundraiser. Stearns Bank, Cullum Homes and hundreds of others joined host Carey Peña, and special guests Larry Fitzgerald and Hall of Famer Kurt Warner for a virtual fundraising night that raised $270,000 for the organization. Guests enjoyed inspirational messages from Fitzgerald and Warner, while also hearing the stories of families impacted by the generosity of Habitat for Humanity supporters, to view a recap of the event, click here: e.givesmart.com/events/hoD/
