Not every mission ends when the uniform comes off, some evolve into building businesses, teams, and communities.
Brothers Jake, Matt, and Zach Lethbridge of Kitchen Tune-Up Fredericksburg & Stafford know what it means to lead with discipline, resilience, and shared purpose. Their military experience didn’t just shape who they are, it shaped how they work.
Today, they carry that forward by serving families and homeowners across our region with craftsmanship, integrity, and respect.
They each offer wisdom for those stepping into entrepreneurship:
Jake:
“Hire people who share the same passion, drive, and commitment to excellence that you have, and never compromise on that standard. Stay humble, always be willing to learn and when things get hard, you gotta be harder.”
Matt:
“Know your strengths and weaknesses, and, just like our time in the service, surround yourself with people that share your same values.”
Zach:
“You are in for a wild ride. The mission is different but it is no less challenging and there is a reason most small businesses fail. Reach out to another veteran small business owner and ask them to tell you about the good, bad and ugly.”
Their journeys remind us:
A strong mission begins with strong values, and is sustained by the people who live them out every day.
Proud to recognize their service, their leadership, and the work they continue to pour back into our community. 💙
