In this fast paced society in which we live, it is hard to find couples who can manage to meet all of their responsibilities and still have time to help others. Jay and Christy Dougherty, owners of Pinnacle Excavating, Inc. are one of those couples who make time to serve.

In the last few years they have committed to a successful business venture; one that stands as an example within the community. After being lead to leave a major corporation where Jay was employed for 16 years, he chose to take on the full-time responsibility of a personally owned company. This put him in control of his own time enabling him to help those in need. Christy also put her own personal career (RN) on the back burner to assist Jay in this effort. All of this in the midst of a busy lifestyle and raising their three children ages 7, 5, and 3. With all of these responsibilities, Jay and Christy still make time to help others.

Before their children were born, the Dougherty’s helped with meals at shelters for people who are homeless in Baltimore and Harford County. They personally, as well as Pinnacle Excavating, Inc., have financially supported the fund raising efforts of FCCAU (Faith Communities and Civic Agencies United, Inc.) the local emergency shelter. They also reach out and help individual clients with their needs while they are trying to get back into a self-sufficient life. Personally and thru Pinnacle, the Dougherty’s have coordinated fund raising efforts, donated money, and provided certificates for charity events and auctions, all in support of FCCAU and the homeless.

Jay, utilizing Pinnacle’s equipment and expertise, made a trip to Mississippi with a team of men to clean up and rebuild homes devastated by Hurricane Katrina. He found it such a rewarding experience that he has returned again and again. Christy, also oversees Pinnacle, supports her family (including supporting her 92 year grandmother), volunteers at her children’s school, coordinates mission efforts for Open Bible Christian Academy and participates with various other charitable organizations.

The Dougherty’s are to be admired as a loving and caring example of a Christian family who sacrificially ministers to others.
