This Monday on Growing Up Yakima, I got nostalgic talking about the old Sears Christmas catalog—the wish lists, dog-eared pages, and toys we dreamed about as kids. We shared a few laughs about what we wanted, what we got, and how much simpler growing up felt back then.

That conversation naturally led into why community matters and how the places we live help shape those "growing up" memories for the next generation.

This week on Growing Up Yakima, I'm kicking off 2026 talking about gratitude, family, and why experience really matters—both in life and in investing. We get into the joys (and chaos) of parenting, the special role grandparents play in our kids' lives, and how those same values of wisdom, trust, and long-term thinking show up in the way we invest. I also share how our team at Wilkinson approaches multifamily real estate with a family-first mindset—treating our investors the way I'd want my own family treated. It's an easy, heartfelt conversation about relationships, perspective, and starting the new year with intention.
