Meet the Team
License Number: 23022898
Kevin was raised in Naperville, Illinois and moved to Tacoma, Washington in 2015 for his first military assignment. Having grown up in the Midwest, rarely experiencing mountains or ocean, he instantly fell in love.
Kevin is a licensed real estate broker who opened a property management business after he noticed none of his friends or coworkers could find a dependable property manager while they were deployed or moving. He prides himself in exceptional communication and being detail oriented.
He is married to his wife, Devin, who is a practicing attorney in the South Sound Region. When not at work, they are backpacking, skiing, or climbing any of the mountains or volcanoes the weather allows.
Our Leasing Manager, Venus, enjoys life’s simple pleasures—exploring new places, spending time outdoors, and staying curious about the world around her. Activities like snorkeling, traveling, and occasional farming bring her a sense of balance and joy. Whether it’s a quiet walk in nature or a spontaneous road trip, she values experiences that feel grounding and meaningful, helping her stay connected to what matters most.
Venus has grown comfortable handling a wide variety of tasks and supporting her team behind the scenes with consistency and care. From managing leasing processes to assisting with operations, she brings focus and initiative to her work.
Venus believes in learning through experience and brings steady energy to both her career and personal life. She values collaboration, enjoys being helpful, and always aims to contribute in a way that supports the people and projects around her.
