In 2020, Caitlin Tharp made a significant life change, moving to the picturesque Tahoe-Truckee region to start a family and embrace the area’s stunning natural environment. With a deep-rooted passion for outdoor activities like hiking and skiing, Caitlin found the perfect balance between her professional aspirations and personal fulfillment.
Caitlin and her husband, Carl, purchased a property in historic Brickelltown, recognizing its potential as the site for a new Schaaf & Wheeler branch. If you’ve driven down Donner Pass Road, you may have noticed the historic renovation in progress—this is the future home of Schaaf & Wheeler’s Tahoe-Truckee office. Caitlin is committed to building her business locally, aiming to hire from within the community and offer top-tier water resource engineering expertise.
Through this expansion, Schaaf & Wheeler brings extensive experience and innovative solutions to the Tahoe Truckee area, continuing a legacy of excellence and community-focused service. Keep an eye out for their new location and the exciting developments it will bring to the region!
