Jeff first visited Hollister Ranch in 1962 as a guest of the Hollister family who owned the entire 15,000+ acre ranch at the time. Jeff introduced Wendie to the Ranch in 1967, and they were married the following year. Jeff and Wendie purchased Parcel 3 in 1972; the seventh parcel sold by the developer. The following year, Jeff made his first Hollister Ranch sale.

Jeff and Wendie established Hollister Ranch Realty in 1981. Since that time they have been involved in at least one transaction involving over 100 separate Hollister Ranch parcels.

Jeff and Wendie are members of these professional organizations:

Since 1972, they have participated in the following HROA committees:

Beach Use & Rules, Conservancy,
Design, Hollister House, Finance,
Roads, Hoedown, External Affairs,
Grievance, Stewardship Task Force
and Manager Selection.

Furthermore, Jeff has served as:

President of the HROA Board of Directors, and
President of the Hollister Ranch Cooperative.

In addition, Jeff has also served as a member of the Hollister Ranch Volunteer Fire Department.

For over a decade Wendie has been the coordinator of the Hollister Ranch Conservancy’s popular and successful "Tidepool School" program. This program has provided Santa Barbara County students a "living classroom" to study and observe the thriving ecosystems found in the intertidal zones at Hollister Ranch. At one time these tidepool environments existed all along the coast of Southern California, but they have become degraded or eliminated as human population soared. It is hoped that the students who observe a healthy shoreline will grow up to encourage - and participate in - the restoration of the habitat for these tidepool critters.

For several years Wendie has also been a member of the Hollister Ranch (Cattle) Cooperative board of directors.
