Meet your Artisans 

Meet Mike and Blake

Mike Hale

I am a native of Buffalo, N.Y. and came to Virginia Beach by way of the military. I did 6 1/2 years as a submariner. I currently work as a defense contractor for WR Systems Ltd I have been there for 23 years. This is where I met Blake and we started working on the side building decks, fences, and sheds. I am currently not married, but do have 3 children 2 boys and 1 girl . I also have 2 grandchildren 1 boy and 1 girl. I am in my late fifties but life has a way of pulling you closer to what you love even in old age. In my spare time, I like to do woodworking and hang out by the pool. I would like to make all your woodworking ideas come to life . I look forward to the opportunity and I hope you guys enjoy our work as much as we enjoy doing it for you.

Thanks,

Mike Hale

Blake Lloyd

I am a Virginia Beach native that was born and raised in the Diamond Springs area. I graduated from Bayside High School in 2009 and joined the Army in 2013. I did one contract within the armed forces and returned home to Virginia Beach in 2018 and started working for a company by the name of WR Systems and currently still work there. I am married with no children and I am still living in the Diamond Springs area with three dogs. I love and strive to be running this business with my partner Mike and we look forward to one day being able to separate from our 9-5 and focus solely on our business. Im only 31 years old but I believe that as a company owner we can make a special company within the 757. We look forward to the challenges ahead and hope to provide quality services for many years to come. I am a Christain that attends Diamond Springs Baptist Church off of Bayside Rd and I am looking to also get more involved in ministry. This work can be a way to open up the door to so many opportunities and I look forward to what the Lord has in store for me. I personally look forward to serving you as your build needs are desired and I hope we can provide you with everything you need.

Thanks,

Blake Lloyd
