About Acacia, MBA, MSP
Acacia, PDO Owner & Founder is originally from Portland, Oregon. She enjoys traveling and eating different foods (no pig's feet and chitlings, please). She loves college football. GO DUCKS! On Saturdays during the Fall, unless you're asking her to watch a game somewhere, she will be busy watching Game Day, having breakfast, and binge-watching games!
Her natural ability and interest in designing and organizing began as a young child. No joke, see the picture on the left proving she has been designing "houses" and organizing since she was a little girl. When at sleepovers with girlfriends, while they were calling boys, Acacia was organizing their closets. Imagine THOSE "before and after" pictures from the '90s; no, there are none! As a young teenager, she would travel to California with her best friend's family in the summers. Her one job was to fit everything in the back of the suburban because her best friend's mom knew she would get the job done. She remembers feeling so proud, knowing she relied on her to help at such a young age.
After high school, Acacia tried the college thing and realized she was not ready. Then, in January 2003, Acacia joined the United States Air Force (USAF) as a Radar Air Traffic Controller. While serving our country for nine years, she was fortunate to live in different parts of the world and experience once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Acacia was also ready to attend college and has since completed several degrees. Her final two degrees are a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and a Master of Science in Psychology (MSP).
Acacia has always imagined settling down in Arizona (AZ), so it was her first stop after the military. Although she continued traveling, spending time in Alaska, Europe, Afghanistan, Dubai (Dune Bashing is Uh-Maze-Ing), Thailand ($5 massages for an hour, good ones too!), Acacia would always end up coming back to AZ. She is proud to call the desert her home and has no regrets, even in the hot summers. After all, it is all about Perspective. Acacia used to be in full military gear, head to toe (helmet, boots, 60-pound backpack, and other "military accessories"), walking to and from work in the Middle East, and sleeping in a tent. If she had to use the restroom, she was required to get fully dressed in the middle of the night before walking to a glamorous bathroom, the Porta-Potty. Now, she is in shorts, flip-flops, and her hair up. Acacia really cannot complain. Arizona is what she loves!
She has met some of the most incredibly supportive clients along the way, and Acacia is thankful she has this opportunity! Anyone who has known her for a long time can attest that design and organization are the perfect jobs for Acacia. It's a labor of love, and she is fortunate to do it daily!
P.S. If you zoom in, you may find a prideful tear running down her face!
About Gary
Hi, my name is Gary Branson! I am the father of two sons and one bonus son and am engaged to Ms. Brenda. We have been together for over nine years, and I finally proposed a few months ago. We are excited to get married! In our free time, we enjoy going to the water, spending time outdoors, and, of course, spending time with the kids! They are our world, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
I've been passionately crafting custom cabinetry, bringing client visions to life with meticulous detail and high-quality materials since 2019. My woodworking career began with projects such as closets, laundry rooms, home offices, pantries, wall beds, garage cabinets, and entertainment centers. Eventually, I expanded my knowledge to include kitchens and bathrooms. I learned from the very best senior installers at a company that has been in operation for over 40 years in the valley. The artistry and functionality of beautiful cabinetry have always driven me. I'm committed to providing personalized service and exceeding expectations, ensuring every project is a masterpiece.
I look forward to collaborating with you to create a truly unique and functional space and I am excited about the company's future and look forward to having many more positive experiences with our team and clients! Thank you for trusting us!
