Snöblomma # 160, Ski In / Ski Out Condominium

I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. After attending school in the northeast, I worked for major banks based in New York. I lived and worked for a good portion of my time in these jobs in Latin America. I spent 6 months in Bogota, Colombia, 3 years living in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and 7 years based out of New York covering Latin America. Since then I have lived in several places in the U.S. and am now based in my hometown of Houston.

In 1999 I had the opportunity to move for a job opportunity in San Diego. By that time I had visited many of the ski resorts in Colorado, and I knew that I wanted to own a place in the mountains. I traveled a good amount for my work and knew I wanted an easily accessible location.

Understanding that Utah was an up and coming area, I visited Park City in November 2000 and immediately knew that it was the place for me. And I was super fortunate that the "Treehouse" condo was available. In my mind, there is not another location that I would rather own.

I currently am based in Houston, where I focus on consulting and investing in projects related the energy and technology sectors.

I bought the "Treehouse" in December 2000. At that time I was living in San Diego and wanted a ski condo that was super accessible to my family, without the headache of arriving in Denver and having to actually arrive at the indisputably terrific Colorado resorts.

So I arrived in Park City in November 2000 for Thanksgiving, toured about 25 places, and when I saw it I fell in love with the "Treehouse." I bought it immediately and have really appreciated it ever since. Ski in/Ski out, easy access to free public transportation, great place for family and friends.

For many years I did not rent the condo out. Over time, due to work and family considerations, I found myself not spending much time in Park City during the winter. I decided to rent it out via VRBO a few years ago, and it has been a very gratifying experience. Why leave a perfectly nice ski condo in Park City unoccupied when nice folks can visit and appreciate it?!

So that is what I did, and it has been terrific. I have a great team handling cleaning and maintenance. I am a "hands on" owner who wants to be in touch with renters to ensure that they have a wonderful time in my condo, and in Park City in general. So if you do rent from me, I will provide whatever local tips that you seek. And I am always appreciative of the tips that my renters provide to make things better.

For your upcoming visit, I wish all of you the very best and look forward to hearing about how much FUN you had!!
