Our Moving Team

Adonia started Crabtree Family Moving with her husband Cliff and her son Jared. She was teaching Special Education and handling all the marketing for Crabtree Family Moving when it all began along with taking care of our family. She has worked in just about every role in the company at some point. Adonia’s primary responsibilities as Chief Financial Officer is the financial accounting for the company. She has also handled our real estate marketing since its inception. She is the rock that keeps us all on the straight and narrow! Adonia still trains our new hires in packing techniques as she was the original packer with Crabtree Family Moving! Adonia has raised 4 children (Jordan, Jared, Jonah & Jena) and worked in the Raleigh and Durham school systems in kindergarten and special education for 10 years prior to forming Crabtree Family Moving. She loves summertime and traveling with Cliff and her children.  Since the nest is empty most days, she enjoys having her Shih Tzu Harley and their new lab rescue Karl. Her secret passion is the bird sanctuary she is building in the backyard!

When Cliff Crabtree started Crabtree Family Moving 10 years ago, He was borrowing a truck from the trucking company he was managing at night and moving his friends and family on the weekends. Cliff and Adonia thought this might be an opportunity to give jobs to all their children and maybe some of the young men he coached and mentored in high school sports. To Cliff’s amazement, there were a lot of people that needed and appreciated hard work and to have someone that cared about getting them to their new home safe and sound. He spent 20 years in the Finance and Mortgage industry prior to starting Crabtree Family Moving. Cliff and Adonia met at Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, TN where he majored in Business Management and Education. Cliff and Adonia just celebrated their 30^th wedding anniversary and have raised four amazing children (Jordan, Jared, Jonah, and Jena). Jared along with Jonah & Jena started the company from scratch with their mom and dad. Cliff and Adonia love every opportunity they get to go to the Ocean, and he is always looking forward to his next round of Golf!
