Robbie's business experience, and the design background Hope acquired in college, made them dynamic in the development of their personal property. Over the years, Robbie has become a self-taught architect and contractor, designing all the ranch structures and architectural drawings. Hope provides extensive input on the interior layout, and performs all interior decorating, furniture designing and ordering for the resort. Together they manage the ranch, resort and restaurant. Robbie also runs the building crews and farming operations with the help of the ranch crew including Rick Sheffer and Steve Nix.
Hope looks after the housekeeping staff and horse operations.
However, when time does allow, you will find Robbie on his road bike accompanied by his riding buddy, Michael Varvaek.
