Where I went to school: Indiana University South Bend
Hi all - I'm Todd and I run our Airbnb business with my wife. A bit about me – I grew up in northern Indiana in farm country. If you know anything about Indiana, basketball is a way of life! I started playing with my two older brothers at a very young age and loved it. I played 4 years of varsity basketball and loved every minute of it. Basketball led me to college where I studied accounting and after college, became a CPA. I currently work as a Controller in a large boat manufacturer. I married my high school sweet heart and have 3 children. I still play basketball 3-4 times a week. I am a worship leader at my local church (I play guitar, bass guitar, and dabble playing the drums on occasion)! I love my wife and my kids and try to spend as much time as possible with them!! Our goal with this short-term rental platform is simple: take a concept that we love and do it better. There's no place like home (we understand that!), but we hope our properties can be a close 2nd. We furnish and update our spaces with you in mind, aiming to make it a comfortable yet attractive space to enjoy your time in our property.
