About Us
Come meet the management team behind Ashworth Kitchens!
President of Ashworth Kitchens Inc. and a licensed residential contractor, Rob Stepp has been designing kitchens and baths for over 25 years. Affectionately, Rob claims to have “been born to design kitchens” with his birth coming shortly after his father, Bob Stepp, CKD, founded Creative Kitchens. Rob along with his sister Nancy Rigney have developed Creative into a highly successful business having two locations and two subsidiaries that employ 49 persons. Rob attributes the success and growth of Creative to his insistence on offering full service design and installation without the use of subcontractors. Rob says, “We are in control of our projects and our clients can have confidence in knowing that.”
Rob has been a frequent columnist for Builder/Architect Magazine and is host to a monthly radio talk show. Additionally, Rob has been selected as a preferred contractor for Sterling Construction Management at the prestigious Greenbriar Sporting Club/Greenbriar Resort. Rob’s design team has the distinction of being selected by the community as “Best in the Tri-State” for kitchens and baths, and received a community appreciation award for their high standard of business ethics and impact on the community.
Nancy Rigney is the vice-president of Creative Kitchens and is responsible for developing our business strategy. With sixteen years in customer service management and twelve years in operational management, Nancy inherently knows how to run a
