Gary’s favorite pastimes are hunting, outdoor activities, and spending time at the farm, but his passion is family.

Tina began her construction experience before entering elementary school by puttying nail holes in baseboards and then smoothing them out with steel wool for her father who was a homebuilder. Throughout high school, she typed his construction contracts. Shortly after graduating college, Gary Feazell, owner of F&S, offered her a job managing the office and showroom of his construction business at Smith Mountain Lake. Construction being a passion, Tina has been with F&S over thirty years. Having grown with the company, her experience ranges from accounting, human resources, and administration to executive management. She has been serving as President and Chief Financial Officer for fifteen years, is currently on the Roanoke Regional Home Builders BOD, and is a former board member of Parkway Christian Academy in Roanoke. She enjoys spending time with her husband, Gene, and their children, sipping coffee over conversations with her sisters, walking, and yes, watching political debates.

Alicia grew up around construction, visiting jobsites in the evenings with her dad as a child and spending her summers as a teen helping out in the office and learning the basics of construction. While working at F&S part time and attending Liberty University, she met her husband, Jeremy, whom she married in 2002. Alicia spent almost 15 years as General Manager and CFO of an international light gauge steel manufacturer, overseeing many aspects from design and engineering to production, sales, accounting and human resources. In 2016, Alicia returned to F&S taking over marketing and development as well as becoming the resident design professional.

Kent came to the F&S Team with a lifetime of construction background- Kent’s father was a master carpenter and passed that knowledge on to Kent. Kent recently owned a renovation company in northern Virginia before moving back to the Roanoke area. Kent (technically, Dr. Clark) is a board-certified chiropractor and avid proponent of living a wellness lifestyle. He first sought chiropractic care while he was a professional firefighter/emergency medical technician and after just a few visits this experience changed his perception of health. Being a first responder to hundreds of calls for chronically ill patients, he realized the need for teaching people about living a wellness lifestyle and moved to Dallas, TX to study chiropractic. Dr. Clark graduated Summa Cum Laude from Parker University with his doctorate of chiropractic and bachelors of science in anatomy. He furthered his studies by taking additional courses in functional neurology and clinical nutrition, allowing him to provide a higher level of care to his patients. In 2011, Dr. Clark was honored to volunteer with ChiroMission and join a team of chiropractors on a six-day mission trip to St. Vincent, which is a small island in the Grenadine Islands. He along with the other doctors provided chiropractic services to government officials, military personnel, health care providers, and locals. Dr. Clark also had the privilege of working with many professional athletes (NFL & MLB) and their families during his time practicing in AZ. While practicing in Northern Virginia, Dr. Clark was chosen as one of “Loudoun’s Best Chiropractors” for 2018 & 2019 by Loudoun Times-Mirror readers and “Loudoun’s Favorite Chiropractor” in 2018 by LoudounNow readers.

Kent returned to his hometown of Roanoke, VA, where he resides with his wife, Lainey, their beautiful daughter, and their crazy tiny dog. He enjoys spending time with his family, watching football (“Hail to the Redskins”), running, fishing, and traveling.

Jason has been with F&S since 2007. He came from an automotive background working at a Ford dealership. Those sales skills translated. Although Jason didn’t have a professional background in construction, he did his homework and learned the process and products well, and he is now the senior design consultant in the residential division with exceptional personal sales that have steadily increased year after year. Jason is originally from Florida and loves to ‘play in the mud’. He serves on the Leadership Team of Palestine Baptist church as Treasurer. Jason loves antique, fast cars, camping, spending time on the lake, and all things outdoors. He and his wife, Merry, are also very active in their daughter Payton’s softball team – coaching and travelling for tournaments.

Gene Rush has an over 25 year tenure with F & S Building Innovations. He began as a mechanic apprentice, mastering framing, drywall and acoustical ceiling assemblies quickly. Demonstrating leadership abilities with respect from peers, subordinates, and clients, along with his quick wit and problem solving abilities, he began superintending projects in 1996. As the volume of commercial work increased, Gene moved into production management – at times managing up to forty employees simultaneously along with multiple subcontractors. He continues his role as the Commercial Division Manager and works closely with estimators, project managers, and superintendents, ensuring that projects are properly staffed and progressing efficiently. Gene is active in church leadership and enjoys spending time with family, mowing grass (stress relief), and RVing.
