Scott Barr is committed to building a team
that delivers “The Ultimate Client Experience”

home improvement industry was when he was

expectations, Scott is also continuously
working on developing a team of leaders who
are challenged and excited about their work.
When asked what he enjoys the most about his

Exteriors, he said, “Hearing from clients that
have become raving fans of our company
because of our commitment to client satisfaction
before, during, and after their projects.”

“ I look at the kingdom return on investment.
The San Antonio Marriage Initiative provides
excellent resources, support, and training on a
modest budget to anyone who wants to connect
and collaborate to build healthy marriages. The
number of marriages that are positively impacted
is very impressive. It is clearly God’s design for
people to work together in a way that glorifies
God and brings people to God. I am privileged to
partner with this ministry to transform lives,
which will lead to transformed families that will
in turn transform our community.
I encourage all of us to use
what God has blessed us with
to invest into His kingdom.”

The Look You Love Coming Home To
investing in each other, a habit
newly-married Faith and Matt Brugner
have already begun to establish. Faith
grew up in San Antonio observing firsthand
the marriage of SAMI’s founders,
Carl and Kelli, who are her parents’
close friends. Their example has
instilled within the young couple the
importance of building their new
marriage upon a strong foundation of
support.
“We knew how important it would
be to grow in community within our
church,” Faith adds. “We joined a young
married group with an older mentor
couple. They are really honest and
vulnerable about their marriage; they
don’t try to act like they have it all
figured out.”
They learned from Paul Tripp’s book,
“What Did You Expect?” to be intentional
about spending time together
and not let life’s busyness keep them
from connecting.
“It’s a good book for someone who

has been married for a little while when
that honeymoon phase wears off,” Matt
says. “We’ve tossed that book in as a
wedding present for friends.”
Whether you are developing a firm
foundation, struggling with an issue or
just want to rekindle some lasting
romance, SAMI will point you in the
right direction. Reach out to Carl. He
will put you in touch with someone
local to help and equip you. The toughest
step to take is the first one.
Rick and Sue Huggler have a great heart for marriage.
