Kassi is our inspiration behind who we are. She drives our work ethic, creativity, empathy and willingness to explore new paths. As Mike and Trisha's daughter as well as Tyler's big sister, she shaped the family with her love of art, animals, and travel. Her laughter brightened the darkest times. Even though she is no longer with us, Kassi continues to be an equal force in  who we are as a family and business.
