My work: Operations @ Book N' Gather
Lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan
I am one of the co-founders of Book N Gather, a vacation rental property management company. We started in 2021 by buying our first vacation rental and we just fell in love with it. It's been so rewarding to delight our guests with great stays that turn into lasting memories. Since then, we have bought additional properties as well as managing vacation homes for others. I currently live in Kalamazoo with my amazing wife of 12 years and my three boys ages 5, 5, and 3 at the time of this writing.
