About Us

Observing the beauty of objects and people, while looking deeper into the “inner roots” of the world around me, is captivating.

As a second-generation native of Arizona, I fell in love with manzanita trees as a teenager. I often spent much time hiking in the scenic Santa Catalina Mountains - a local mountain range with gorgeous manzanita pastures.

I’ve been a successful entrepreneur all my life, with a background as a publisher, printer, running coach, real estate agent, and investor. It wasn’t until 2021 that I realized the potential for blending my love for beautiful manzanitas with my innate entrepreneurial talents. Ever since getting started, I've absolutely loved it!

When I’m not creating or discovering new pieces to add to the shop, you can find me exploring and working on my cabin located in the southern Arizona mountains. My dedication to The Ideal Conditions has set the foundation for my semi-retirement, with a plan to continue the business and enjoy the good life - while ensuring my clients’ satisfaction. I truly believe enjoying high-quality art can lead to living a high-quality life.
