We wanted to share that our family and homestead are safe, but our hearts are heavy as we process the horrific aftermath of the Eaton Fire.

We’ve called this area home for 45 years, and our love for this community runs deep. Seeing friends, neighborhoods, iconic homes, and family businesses that we’ve grown up with and cherished now gone is absolutely devastating. Words feel inadequate to express the collective grief we feel alongside our neighbors.

Our thoughts are with everyone impacted. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need support—we are here for our community in any way we can be.
