Janice Bishop was born on the coast in Durban, South Africa. She spent her early childhood living in an area of Durban called "the Bluff." She enjoyed spending time exploring the local tidal pool at "Cave Rock" and escaping the local predators, namely monkeys and snakes. At age 10, she moved with family to the Wilmington area, quickly embracing the similar coastal lifestyle. Being both artistic and analytical, Janice was drawn to the field of graphic design where she spent 5 years as a typesetter and designer. Later, playing to her analytical side, she spent 8 years as an office manager for a local accounting firm. Today, when not chasing her two beautiful children, Gavin and Sydney, she runs the office side of Sterling Custom Construction, LLC, making sure that our clients' finances are organized and well taken care of.
Jeremy Bishop grew up in the construction industry where, during his childhood, he saw his father work as a trim carpenter and cabinet builder. An interest in both construction and art led him to pursue a career in architectural design. After graduating from college with an associate degree in architectural technology, he went to work as a draftsman for a local architecture firm in his hometown of Morehead City, North Carolina. There, he worked on many municipal and state funded projects. Having a passion for true custom design, Jeremy moved to Wilmington, where he began working for one of the area's leading custom architectural firms. In 2005, Jeremy started his own drafting firm where he provided design services as well as construction administration services to homeowners and builders in the area. In 2007, Jeremy combined his skills to form Sterling Custom Construction, LLC and began building custom homes and performing renovations. Inspired by nature, builders and architects, Jeremy strives to build finely crafted homes and renovations that his clients and their families can enjoy for generations.
