On October 10, 2017, US Air Force
Senior Airman Brandon Byers (Ret.) and his family were presented with an iPad
for their specially adapted smart home, which was built by the Gary Sinise
Foundation’s R.I.S.E. program. MSI personnel, along with many others, were on
hand to help celebrate the event.
MSI proudly donated surfacing
materials to the specially designed McKinney, Texas home through their
membership in MIA+BSI (the Natural Stone Institute). MIA+BSI supports the R.I.S.E.
program by providing natural stone materials, fabrication, and installation for
homes designed for severely wounded veterans and their families.
Manu Shah, CEO of MSI reflects on
the home dedication, “I believe all of us who enjoy the benefits of freedom should
help give back to our nation’s defenders —especially our wounded veterans, who
are often overlooked.” He adds, “It’s truly an honor to participate in the
R.I.S.E. program, and our privilege to help the Byers family enjoy a
comfortable, accessible home.”
Several of MSI’s most trending
surfaces are featured in the home. Fantasy Brown marble countertops make an exclusive
statement in the master bath, while Augusta White marble counters in the kitchen offer
a luxurious, modern look. Laundry room counters are covered in chic
Silvestre Gray granite and Black Pearl granite adds a touch of elegance to
a kitchen office nook.
