Carl and Jennifer Stringfellow have lived in Helena for more than 23 years.  Shortly after graduating from the University of Alabama, Carl chose Helena as the spot to find his first home in 1999, which is when the two met thanks to friends setting up a blind date.

Carl and Jennifer got married in 2001, and have since moved from that original starter home, but their roots in Helena remained strong, moving to new neighborhoods in Helena.

Carl works for Regions Investment Services, while Jennifer is able to work as a Human Resources consultant from home, while she also enjoys time serving on the Beautification Board in Helena.

The two have raised their two boys, Conner (21) and Charlie (18) in Helena’s schools and city league sports since 2007. Carl also served as a coach to several of the boys’ sports teams. Those team connections allowed them to develop those teammates into friends that are more like family.

Conner graduated from Helena in 2021 and now also works with Regions. Late last year, he asked his girlfriend to marry him, and they are now excited to add Haley Balkovic, also a Helena High School graduate, to the family in 2025.

Charlie is excited to finish his high school career at Helena in 2025 and looks forward to moving on to college or the work force. Carl stated that the benefit of being in a smaller town, while still enjoying the benefits of proximity to big cities encouraged them to keep their foundation of family within the Helena city limits.
