Springfield Business Builders

Did you know in Missouri there is no required licensing to be a home inspector? Jason McCormick on the other hand has taken his business to the next level by becoming InterNachi Certified for his clients!
As a retired fire captain of the Springfield fire department and decades of experience inspecting residential properties Jason’s known for his exceptional service and attention to detail. Whether you’re buying a home or getting ready to sell, a full home inspection is crucial to understand not only what you’re buying but also what repairs can easily fixed before putting your home on the market. 👏

We loved getting to hear from Courtney about what inspired her to get into mortgage lending. ❤️ She genuinely cares about her clients and helping them feel confident and comfortable through such an exciting season of life.

We’re so happy to have Courtney with Guaranty Bank as part of our group! She brings a personal touch to the process and is passionate about helping first-time homebuyers find a comfortable payment and set themselves up for success.

Another great social in the books thanks to our Social Chair Greg Tigges. Tonight we enjoyed the sunset views of Springfield from Scratch and Co.’s Rooftop Bar at the Sunshine Event Center. 🌅

🏠 Storm damage can be overwhelming—but homeowners don’t have to navigate it alone!

Jamie Garrison, owner of Garrison Roofing & Guttering LLC, shared his expertise on the impact of recent hailstorms, storm chasers, roof replacements, and navigating insurance claims.

Local experts like Garrison Roofing are helping homeowners repair roofs, gutters, and siding while working with insurance companies throughout the process.

👏 Thank you, Jamie for serving our community with experience, integrity, and local expertise!

We really enjoyed hearing from Mary Henderson of Hogan Land Title Company awhile back! 🏡

With over 40 years of experience, Mary is known as Springfield’s “Godmother of Closings.” She shared valuable insight into real estate closings, legal descriptions, and the escrow process.

Mary joined Best Escrow with Hogan Land Title in 1994. Since then, she has been part of the company’s growth, including the merger of Best Escrow with Hogan Land Title.

🏡 Hogan Land Title is a trusted, three-generation family business serving the Ozarks for more than 60 years!

Thank you, Mary, for sharing your expertise and giving us a glimpse into the world of real estate closings! ❤️

✨ A BIG thank you to Tyler Cantrell, owner of Cantrell Christmas Lights & Power Washing, for presenting at Breakfast Club!

Tyler shared all about his Christmas light installation business and how he helps customers create the perfect holiday look. 🎄

He handles it all—from helping design the display and installing the lights to taking them down and storing them after the season. And because he uses actual bulbs, customers can even change up their colors!

Tyler says he begins installing lights around October 21st and serves approximately a 40-mile radius around Springfield. He aims to have the lights down by late March.

Thank you, Tyler, for sharing your business and expertise with us! 👏

A big thank you to James Massey for speaking at our Breakfast Club! ☕️

James shared the history of Long Heating & Air and how they’ve proudly been in business for more than 40 years. It was great hearing the story behind a longtime local business and the people who make it successful!

Thanks, James, for sharing your time and story with us! 👏

After nearly 27 years of caring for our community, Dr. Bill Holmes is retiring from patient care. His last day seeing patients will be September 3, 2026.

Dr. Holmes opened Chesterfield Eyeworks with a simple goal: help people see better and care for them like family. That mission grew into decades of friendships, memories and a career he calls the greatest job in the world.

While we’ll miss seeing him in the exam room, we’re excited for this next chapter as he spends more time with family and enjoys what’s ahead. ❤️

📣 Thursday, August 20 will be Dr. Holmes’ final Breakfast Club presentation—a special opportunity to hear from him before retirement.

If you’re unable to make the August meeting, there’s another chance to say farewell! Join us for an open house celebrating Dr. Holmes’ retirement and Vision Clinic’s 1st anniversary.

🎉 Tuesday, September 1 | 4–6 p.m.
📍 Chesterfield Eyeworks | 1650 S. Enterprise

We’re incredibly grateful for Dr. Holmes’ care, friendship and legacy. Thank you, Dr. Holmes!

There’s something special about our Breakfast Club. ☕

Every seat around the table is filled by a business owner or decision-maker, and because we’re industry exclusive, each business category has just one representative. That means we collaborate, support one another, and build each other up—not compete.

We’re proud of the relationships we’ve built and the businesses that make up this group.

Know someone who would be a great fit? We’d love to meet them and see if business builders is the right fit. 🥰
