In Jen's words...

With over 18 years in business, I am the co-owner of a thriving septic company founded with my husband, a venture we began out of necessity that has since flourished. Alongside this, I run a dynamic real estate investment company, encompassing private money lending, flipping, glamping, new builds, and the future goal of creating rental income streams.

My upbringing deeply influenced my path; my father, a botanist with the Bureau of Land Management, instilled in me a respect for old-growth forests and the importance of land stewardship. This foundation shapes my approach to business and investing—finding ways to complement natural resources while fostering sustainable growth.

Most importantly, I'm a full-time Nana to two spirited grandchildren, ages 4 and 6, who fill my life with joy and purpose. Every investment I make and business decision I undertake is inspired by a vision for their future and the values passed down through generations.
