Member Spotlight: Brandon Tilton with At Your Service Handyman, LLC.

Today we had the pleasure of hearing from Brandon Tilton, owner-operator of At Your Service Handyman, during our Sales Manager Showcase, and what a great reminder of why we value strong, reliable local businesses.

Brandon has been part of the Kittitas Valley for 17 years, raising his four kids alongside his wife, Kylie. Their life is full (in the best way), with dogs, goats, and chickens rounding out the family.

Brandon has been running At Your Service Handyman for the past 7 years, but his experience goes much further back. He’s been tackling handyman projects since he was 12 years old, building skills that show in the wide range of work he does today.

His keys to success are refreshingly simple and powerful:
📞 Answer your phone
⏰ Show up on time
🔨 provide the kind of service you can trust.

Brandon’s burning desire is to leave a legacy for his kids, and to help provide the opportunity for them to create their own legacies as well. He’s known for his patience, problem-solving mindset, and willingness to help with just about any project, whether it’s changing batteries in a remote or taking on a full remodel.

Projects Brandon shared with us today ranged from commercial jobs like firewalls and commercial doors to vinyl decking, ADA ramps and handrails, fencing, chicken coops, and even a paintball course.
If you can imagine it, there’s a good chance Brandon can build it.
Give him a call 509.859.6412

👏 Thank you, Brandon, for being a valued member of our BNI team and for consistently showing up with integrity, skill, and heart.

🌾✨ Business Spotlight: Matt & Dana Wise – DAILY BREAD & MERCANTILE ✨🌾
This week we had the privilege of learning from Matt Wise with Daily Bread & Mercantile, a cherished local business that began 15 years ago with his wife, Dana. From the very beginning, their dream was rooted in something deeper than recipes and retail—they wanted to build a place where faith, family, and community could grow together, while building a business their own family could grow into.

Their daughter Kyra has been involved in the business for many years, and if you’ve visited Daily Bread, you’ve likely seen Kyra and her kiddos right there in the mix. For the Wise family, Daily Bread & Mercantile is more than a business—
it’s a home away from home.

When asked about the keys to their success, Matt shared a powerful truth:
“Trusting in God for all provisions.”

Daily Bread has truly thought of it all—offering old-fashioned, home-style good food that brings comfort and connection to everyone who enters.

They have truly thought of everything:
🥣 The best soups in town
🥪 Fresh, delicious sandwiches locals rave about
🧀 The highest quality deli meats and cheeses
🧁 Bulk baking ingredients for all your kitchen needs
🍬 The best candy selection around
🥘 Homemade take-and-bake freezer meals perfect for busy nights

Whether you’re grabbing lunch, stocking your pantry, treating the kids, or picking up a quick dinner—Daily Bread is a place where quality and comfort meet.

In the future, they hope to expand to provide even more space for the community to come together, connect, and enjoy the warm, faith-filled atmosphere they’ve built.

We are grateful for Matt, Dana, Kyra, and their entire family for pouring so much love into this community every single day. Their faith, hard work, and commitment to serving others shine through in everything they do. Thank You!

🎉 Meet Ethan McCrillis, owner operator of Patriot Paving LLC!
We were happy to learn from Ethan this week about all the services his company provides right here in Kittitas County!

Ethan shared that balance is his key to success — as a dedicated husband and dad of five kids with a very active lifestyle, he still manages to keep Patriot Paving thriving. He’s committed to quality work and proud to call Kittitas County home.

Patriot Paving’s services include:
• Asphalt installation, repair, resurfacing, and seal-coating for driveways, roads, and parking lots
• Concrete work including driveways, curbing, sidewalks, slabs, and flatwork
• Striping and markings (including ADA-compliant parking lots) for both residential and commercial projects
• Seal-coat protection to extend surface life and improve appearance
• Full-service paving solutions for homeowners, business owners, contractors, and public entities
💬 Funny note: Ethan shared that he’s been asked many times to paint residential pickleball courts through the striping side of the business — not exactly the request you think of when starting a striping company, but he’s happy to help!

Looking ahead to 2026, Patriot Paving is considering expanding into Chip Seal work, so if this is on your next year’s to-do list, be sure to give them a call!

Patriot Paving LLC is a valued member of our BNI group, and we look forward to growing together and continuing to support local businesses paving their way across Kittitas County!
