Face of Experience - Amanda Cumberland
As a realtor with Fidelis Realty, Amanda Cumberland can help all kinds of
people. From buyers searching for their dream homes to those selling their homes so they can start the next stage of their life, she loves helping others. “It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling that puts a smile on my face every day,” she describes.
I love that every day is di erent. I am a multi-tasker at heart, love challenges, and thrive in the high-stress environment of real estate. Real Estate has so many variables to stay on top of every day, but at the end of the day it’s rewarding to be able to know I did the absolute best possible job for every one of my clients!

Face of Craw sh Bill Roberts
Born and raised in Louisiana, Bill Roberts knows craw sh. While The Craw sh House started “by accident” as just the ickering of an idea, Roberts’ marketing brain just couldn’t let the idea pass by.
“It’s turned into a nice small business in Ocean Springs,” says Roberts. “But it’s not about the money. I care about the city of Ocean Springs and in some small way, I hope that The Craw sh House provides a venue that adds value to those visiting or living here.”
Roberts believes that his sta and cook-to-order philosophy are behind his restaurant’s success and set them apart from other venues. In addition, The Craw sh House o ers diners a warm and friendly atmosphere, kids and pets welcome.
His motto is “‘All the Way May!’ In other words, ‘Once a job is rst begun, never leave it till it’s done, though the job be great or small, do it well or not at all!’”
He and his wife, Linda, have been married for 32 years and have four grown daughters, one of which they tragically lost to breast cancer in 2019. They have three sons-in-law and ve grandchildren, all of whom live and work on the Gulf Coast. Another valued member of the family is their Wheaton Terrier, Lilly, who is the queen of the Roberts home.
