On a recent episode of Dow Smith Company’s new podcast From the Ground Up, Dow and Joey sat down with good friend and referral partner John Blankenship.

We’re busy – maybe busier than we’ve ever been before. And for that, we’re grateful to our staff, partners, clients and community. From big projects to small jobs and everything in between, Dow Smith Company’s leaders and employees are hard helping existing organizations evolve and new ones spring to life.

Trey King, Field Operations Director, was recently named Partner at Dow Smith Company. As Field Operations Director, Trey describes himself as “the voice from the field to the office and from the office back to the field.”

From the Ground Up is our new podcast, which features people we’re interested in, projects we’re working on and all the nuts and bolts of the design-build business. Episodes will be released every other Tuesday on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

After 20 years in the corporate construction world, Bryan Jaynes came to work for Dow Smith Company this year as our new Director of Construction Services. He says the decision came down to his faith, his family, and his future in the industry.

Last year, Joey Rhyne got a call from local landlord Brad McNutt, who’d purchased a building at 2892 South Church Street in Murfreesboro.

McNutt, who was referred to Dow Smith Company by commercial real estate broker John Harney, wanted to build out a portion of the property for a specific tenant. Rehab Without Walls, which offers post-acute neuro therapy through residential, outpatient, and home-based programs, has locations across the country and was interested in moving into McNutt’s building. McNutt also wanted his building to be appealing to additional tenants.

Holley Potts is one of the few employees at Dow Smith Company who doesn’t wear a hard hat. But she has lots of tools she plans to use to improve the lives and careers of everyone in the company. Potts was recently hired as Dow Smith Company’s new chaplain and life coach.

In 2002, Fellowship Bible Church started meeting at Blackman Middle School with 40 members. By the time Dow Smith Company built the church’s facility in 2014, the congregation had grown to 250. At the start of this year, as Fellowship Bible Church’s numbers exceeded 400, the building was busting at the seams.

We all know 2020 was a challenging year to say the least. Dow Smith, President of Dow Smith Company, shares what he learned in 2020 and how he plans to use his new insights for the better in 2021.

As a personal trainer for the past two decades, Dana Hampton has worked with her clients to create healthy meals that will keep them full and fuel their active lifestyles. She loves talking to clients about the sweet treats they can’t imagine living without—and then finding a way to make a healthy version.

In 2018, Dana had a hunch that the recipes she’d come up with might be the secret ingredients for starting a business. She left her full-time job as an executive at Target and started spending more time than ever before in the kitchen. A year later, she’d had enough success that her husband, Sonny Hampton, left his job as a pharmacist and the couple went all-in on Protein Snack Shop.
