ORIGINALLY FROM Quincy, CA — born and raised!

HOW LONG IN TRUCKEE 24+ years: Winter seasonally beginning in 1997, full-time in 2000. 

WHY TRUCKEE I moved to Truckee initially for seasonal winter work at Sugar Bowl Ski Area while attending college, drawn by the allure of the snow-covered mountains and the promise of adventure. Luckily, upon graduation, I was offered a full-time, year-round job that I loved. The vibrant community and endless outdoor activities captivated me, making leaving impossible. As soon as I graduated, I packed my bags and embraced the Truckee lifestyle, eager to explore all the beauty and excitement this region offers.

FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT TRUCKEE I love living in Truckee for its incredible access to trails and outdoor activities that connect me to nature year-round. In the winter, there’s nothing like a great ski day with friends, enjoying the breathtaking mountain top views. When summer arrives, I always try to start or end each adventure with a refreshing dip in a lake or river, Often swimming 12 months of the year. The mix of second homeowners and long-term residents creates a vibrant community, all passionate about this beautiful region. What truly makes Truckee unique is the friendly, like-minded people who share my love for the outdoors. Whether it’s joining a local event, meeting a friend for a long run, or the camaraderie and warmth of the community that make this town feel like home.
