“My parents raised my sisters and I on a ranch in the middle of what would become the fastest growing region of California, the appropriately named Inland Empire. While concrete continued to make its way through the town’s landscape, our acres became some of the last citrus groves and grape vines to be found in the area and I grew to realize how special it was to protect and enjoy our natural resources. The opportunities we have to make our planet a more sustainable place to live are ever expanding, and I’m thrilled to see the smart design leading the way to a greener future.”
