I’ve edited this custom publication for the past three years, the latest of which came out in early May in advance of the Memorial Day Weekend show. The magazine was sent to a couple thousand people who own or owned homes around the Truckee and North Lake Tahoe region, and includes stories about current architectural trends towards smaller homes, area communities, innovative ice melt technology for roofing and easy, affordable green building practices. I love writing about home design and building, so it was fun for me to work with area professionals to learn more about what’s happening regionally in the home industry.
Welcome!
