A Note from Jessica Barber

Published in Home Modifications on July 20, 2022

JessicaAfter 12 years with VGM Live at Home and VGM & Associates, it is time to move on to my next chapter. I will hang up my home access hat and venture into the IT and Web world with VGM Forbin. It was a tough decision, but I am ready for the challenge!

I want to thank each of you, my LAH friends. Whether we only spoke on the phone, by email, or met in person, you helped shape my journey into what it is today. I am proud of the businesses you have grown into, and I wish you only the best as you push through the exciting years ahead.

I may be stepping away, but I am not far if you need me. Hope to see you again soon.

Looking Forward,

Jessica Barber
