KJ has a passion for people, travel, dogs, nature, and outdoor activities—especially anything that involves water! A native of Santa Barbara, CA, KJ and her husband, Bret, dedicated 15 years to active duty military service. This journey has allowed KJ to embrace a diverse range of cultures and celebrate their unique attributes.
Throughout their lives, KJ and Bret, along with their four sons, have called many places home, including Santa Barbara, Italy, Spain, Hawaii, South Korea, North Carolina, Georgia, and Utah. Their love for adventure has taken them to Europe, Mexico, Thailand, Canada, and various destinations across the United States. Now, as empty nesters, KJ and Bret enjoy exploring the scenic backroads of Utah on Bret's motorcycle.
In addition to her love for travel, KJ operates a private music studio—**5 To 1 Music Studio**—where she teaches voice and piano. She is a proud graduate of Augusta State University/GRU, UCSB, and holds a master’s degree from UCTS. Currently residing in Utah, KJ is committed to ensuring that every rental property reflects her high standards.
At **KJ Augusta Rentals**, each property is meticulously cared for, cleaned thoroughly, and regularly updated to guarantee a comfortable stay for her guests. KJ goes above and beyond to create memorable experiences, resulting in many repeat visitors to her homes.
KJ’s life motto is **“Carpe Diem”**, reminding her to seize each day and make the most of every moment.
