Meet the Team

My housing and business story. I created Tiny Castle Homes in 2021 after providing temporary housing to the homeless through Happy Camper's. It seemed the natural progression to go from emergency shelter to permanent home ownership opportunities. The idea has been a dream of mine for several years and though the details are far from worked out or figured out, the dream is alive and well and WILL MANIFEST. I am just a regular person trying to make the world a better place by providing the most basic necessity of life, HOUSING. The housing crisis all across America is HEARTBREAKING and I have been a victim of it myself. I lived in a hotel during the fall of 2021 with my Kitten for over a month after being evicted for no reason. It cost more than a REAL mortgage. It was over $2000 for one month. I also resorted to living in one of my own Happy Camper's with my kitty in the spring of 2022 because I could NOT find housing. It's terrifying. 

So, it has become my mission to help myself, my brothers and my sisters have housing security. Rents are SKYHIGH! It is obscene to pay anywhere from $600-$1000 per month just for a room and $850-$3000 per month for an apartment or home IF you can even find a rental. THEN, you have to put up with the oppression of slumlords and property management companies who not only don't care about you but have you live in inhumane conditions while being charged a fortune. First, last and deposit on a rental is a minimum $3000 for anything even close to habitable. I just spent $3600 to move into an UNCLEAN home because I had no other options. It's just INSANE!

THEN, you are GIVING money to another individual to fund their lives when it could be building up your life, your family's life and your children's lives. If there is anything more maddening to me, it's funding someone else's mortgage and not my own. INFURIATING!! If I sound fired up, it's because I am. This fire is going to fuel my intentions, actions and hard work. Please join me.

My intention is to take my power back and give it back to YOU and YOUR family because we deserve to live in functional and beautiful homes. On Maslow's Hierarchy of needs, food clothing and shelter are the most basic of needs. In order to thrive in any part of one's life, you must have SHELTER! With a Master's Degree in Psychology and nearly 30 years in the Holistic Health Care field, I can tell you that housing insecurity leads to depression, anxiety, addiction, domestic violence, crime and is one of the worst experiences known to man. It seriously feels like being trapped or in prison. Living in a slum, a hotel, a car, or on the streets? No thanks.

However, going tiny is not just for the oppressed!! It's for anyone who wants to simplify and downsize their lives. People who are ready to retire, who want or need to travel for work or pleasure, who have regular jobs and can't afford a $1500-$3500 per month mortgage! It's the PERFECT starter home for individuals or families. It's also for those who have had a realization that they don't want or NEED a bunch of STUFF!! It is amazingly freeing to give it all up and live with what you actually need, I did it and I loved it. I am looking forward to that day when I get my own Tiny Castle!!

Please join me on my journey. I need HELP. I need land, volunteers to do research, find properties, contractors, INVESTORS, those with more knowledge than I can possibly learn all on my own. If you have ANYTHING to offer, please contact me ASAP. Thank You!!

This is just the beginning of the story, please stay tuned as I allow the process to unfold. Thank you for visiting my NEW WEBSITE!
