About Us

Our family spends most of our time in Madison, Wisconsin, on land original to the Ho Chunk people. We engage in our community through the arts, sports, and politics. We love to hike and be outside, listen to live music, and make and eat delicious foods. 

And our favorite Beatles songs? Here Comes the Sun, All You Need is Love, Eleanor Rigby, and Yesterday.

In 2021, our family visited Puerto Rico. We were enchanted by the island's amazing geography: from the rain forest to the bioluminescent bays, Old San Juan, and all the beaches. We recognized and appreciated a vibrant culture shaped by a mix of Spanish, United States, and Afro-Caribbean influences, while simultaneously mourned what the colonial history took (and continues to take) from its inhabitants. And, we loved the energy of an island working to rebound from a series of devastating events: Hurricane Maria, earthquakes, and a global pandemic. 

We recognized that at this unique moment, investments in Puerto Rico can build a strong, local infrastructure that balances environmental sustainability and keeps the money local. We're committed to doing just that. We donate a portion of all profits to Para la Naturaleza, an organization committed to preserving 30% of Puerto Rico in land trusts by 2030. We hire neighbors for work that needs to be done. When we visit, we shop and eat at locally-owned places, and we encourage you to do the same.
