About the host
Hosted by Stephanie Kover
A Little About Us: Stephanie was raised in Reno, Nevada, where she learned to love hiking, birding, climbing, and outdoor adventures. Prior to moving to Texas, Steph lived in Boulder, Colorado, where she conducted scientific experiments as part of BP's response to the Deepwater Horizon blowout in the Gulf of Mexico. She then lived in Berkeley, California, where she obtained her law degree. Bryan was born at the Ft. Riley army base. Prior to moving to Texas for law school, Bryan lived in Wisconsin, Michigan, Chicago, New York, Germany, and Atlanta, where Bryan wore many hats, including line-cook, musician, organ courier, and middle-school teacher. Bryan loves deep dives into history and is an avid reader. Bryan and Steph currently live in Austin and hope to start a family. In the meantime, they've raised 2 cats--Kitty Whompus and Kitty Carson--who stay at home while Bryan and Steph continue chasing new adventures. We hope you enjoy your time at our mountain and beach homes as much as we do!
