Tom Spitnale

My wife, Cortney, and I met during college up the road at James Madison University. After graduation we lived for several years in Charleston, SC where we enjoyed the beach, the history and the climate (apart from hot & humid summers, that is). Cortney was born and bred in the Roanoke Valley; when we began our family with the birth of our oldest, we decided it would be best to move close to her parents and stay within reach of mine in Northern Virginia. Leaving Charleston was difficult, but we’ve come to know that Roanoke truly is home. The quality of life in our region, the pay in my industry (technology) vs. the cost of living, and our proximity to things we love (including a half day to the beach, less than half a day to Washington DC, minutes to the mountains, Smith Mountain Lake, the New River and more) seem likely to keep us here for life. Since coming to Roanoke in 2001, I’ve been happy to work downtown, we’ve owned houses in Raleigh Court, Roanoke County, and settled in downtown Salem, and we’ve become active in our church and community. We can’t imagine a better place to raise a family and build a career.
