Q: How long have you lived at Tesoro Viejo, and why did you choose this community?
A: We have lived here since September of 2024. I have worked in Tesoro Viejo in different capacities since 2020, so it’s kind of full circle, and I’m embracing this new chapter in my life.
Q: Describe what it is like to live, work and play at Tesoro Viejo.
A: It's a blend of a lot of things—my work is collaborative and different every day. I enjoy the ease of picking up an Amazon package in between meetings and making old friends new again at the dog park. Life here is intertwined, offering balance in the best way.
Q: Choose one word to describe the vibe in your neighborhood.
A: Upbeat. We’re all in different phases of life, yet there’s a shared connection. It’s smiles all around.
Q: How do you “play” at Tesoro Viejo?
A: Whether it’s tossing a ball at the dog park, watching sunsets at Overlook Park, or unwinding in the Ranch House hot tub, every day feels like a new adventure. I walk the kids to school, hit the trails, post up on an Adirondack chair at one of the parks, or break a sweat at the gym. The combinations are endless.
Q: What’s your favorite amenity in the community, and why?
A: The trails, hands down. Each path offers its own vibe, and the ever-changing sky makes every day different out here.
Q: If you had to describe the overall atmosphere of the community in just three words, what would they be?
A: Thriving, vibrant, connected.
Q: If you were to give a tour of the community amenities to someone who has never been here, what would be your must-see stops?
A: Definitely the Ranch House and Overlook Park. They’re some of the best Tesoro Viejo has to offer.
Q: What does your typical work day look like?
A: After walking the kids to school and taking a quick morning walk, I grab a tea or coffee at AXIS and meet with Chef La or our Service Manager, Noelle, to make AXIS better every day. Thursdays are my favorite, though, as it’s Market Day! Tess and I create a weekly community event where kids play freely, neighbors connect, and food is the conversation.
Q: What were a few exciting things you did this summer?
A: Moving to Tesoro Viejo! Blending our families was a transformative journey with lots of paring down, packing, and anticipation for what was ahead.
Q: Give us one fun fact about your life right now!
A: Our New Year’s resolution is to take more small getaways and explore more, so we are looking forward to finding new California spots.
