Pam grew up in Hickory, NC. Raised by hard working mom and dad. She spent most of her life living on the lake Hickory or on the family farm. Hickory is home and she has spent her life helping to grow Hickory. She started her first buisness at age of 21 when her father told her get real job. Determined she made her business a success and now still runs that business 26 years later along with several others. One of which is new furniture business which is growing by leaps and bounds.   Pam is very out going many may say Loud, but i as her partner love her just as she is, Herself. She is very unique woman and willing to help anyone she can. She has been known to take in strangers off the street and give them safe place to live. Pam loves life and has the biggest heart, i am blessed to share my life with her.
