Lea is a licensed general contractor and President of Vue Custom Pools, which is operated from the 1st floor of their live / work unit. Her husband has served as President of both Wafco & Southside HOA boards. Lea has been active in her neighborhood community serving as the lead in the Southside Community Watch program.

Aside from the Vue Custom Pools, they own two local commercial swim & tennis clubs....they aren't going anywhere for a long time and have a vested interest in making Greensboro, specifically downtown, the best city possible.
