Jason and his wife Laura are the owners of Perk’s Beer and Beverage in Scarborough. They are both originally from southern New Hampshire and have been living in Scarborough for the past 15+ years. They have 2 children in the Scarborough School district and take great pride in their community. Perk’s is a craft beer and fine wine store located in the Cabela’s Plaza in Scarborough.

In this episode, we talk with Corinne Watson from Tiny Homes Of Maine. We discuss how she got into designing and building tiny homes, how her childhood helped shape her current career, who inspires her, and what it's like to help write a law that was passed by the Maine legislature!
ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Corinne has been drawing floor plans and sketching home designs on scraps of paper as long as she can remember. She hails from Smyrna, Maine with small town roots and learned at an early age that grit and determination can get you just about anywhere. That drive spurred her to be the first in her family to go to college. She attended the University of Southern Maine and completed a degree in electrical engineering with a concentration in microelectronics. Despite corporate success, she never felt fulfilled climbing the corporate ladder and wanted to merge a passion for design and architecture with her manufacturing background into a purposeful business.

Preston Peabbles is the Vice-President and Co-Owner of NXGen. Preston and his Father, Elliott, have had a passion for fitness and the gym for many years.

When Lifestyle Fitness in Scarborough came on the market, they jumped on the opportunity to purchase it and start their gym ownership venture in August of 2017. It has been a long road since day one, changing the name and a complete rebranding of the business, multiple improvement projects and the impact of the pandemic but Preston remains committed and looks forward to the future of the fitness industry.
Andrew Sneider is the General Manager at NXGen. Andrew has managed businesses for over 10 years, being an Assistant Manager at Play it Again Sports in Portland and the General Manager of The Fitness Factory in Portland. Andrew left The Fitness Factory in 2016 to be the Manager of Preston & Elliott's storage facility in Saco.
