They established American Specialty Insurance & Risk Services Inc. in the basement of their home, and the sports insurance company has since grown to become an industry leader. The couple also own Joseph Decuis, which was recently honored as one of the country’s top 50 restaurants by Open Table Online, as well as an inn and a gourmet retail shop in Roanoke. Through American Specialty and Joseph Decuis, the Eshelmans have helped spearhead Roanoke’s revival.
