Even from a young age, a passion for preservation was always in the cards for Amy. Growing up in a three-story historic farmhouse and spending many weekends and summers with grandparents and cousins (all of whom lived in old houses with creaky wood floors and front porches), ignited her love for history. It wasn’t until her family moved to Tulsa and experienced the city’s rich culture, that she developed an appreciation for architecture, design, and the arts.

Her love of well-appointed houses, gardens, and beautiful music paved the way for being able to recognize the relevance and usefulness of the art of preservation. Watching the gradual erosion of history in Springfield transformed a personal passion into a mission to bring about significance to the past, one house at a time.
