TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF

Hi there! I am Jess Lepage. I am a real estate advisor with the Nations Network powered by Keller Williams Realty. I have an amazing husband Michael and a 5 year old son Asa. I grew up just south of Tower Grove Park, graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York and moved back to St. Louis 11 years ago. My culinary background prepared me for the real estate world to have a calm approach to anything, be solution-oriented, and to be able to connect with people quickly to help them achieve their goals.

FAVORITE HOBBIES/PASTIMES

I love to cook and bake, make candy, take walks, and spend time with friends and family.

FAVORITE QUOTE

"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

FAVORITE TRAVEL DESTINATION

This is a toss up between two very different places. I did a 3 week chef's tour in Vietnam in college and it was incredible! For our honeymoon, Mike and I spent two weeks driving all over France and our dream is to end up with property there one day. France makes my heart happy.

WHAT MOTIVATED YOU TO BE AN AMBASSADOR?

Cindy Tiefenbrunn and Luis Seise inspired me to be an ambassador. I can't think of a better way to strengthen my relationships with local business owners and have more trusted resources to be able to offer to my clients. We are so fortunate to have welcoming and involved ambassadors from the Affton and Lemay chambers and I am grateful to be added to the list.

WHAT IS A GOAL YOU’D LIKE TO HELP THE CHAMBER ACCOMPLISH

I've really enjoyed spotlighting Affton businesses during our monthly videos on Facebook. My goal is to connect with as many chamber members as possible to highlight what they offer to our community. This not only helps each chamber member get a better understanding of what we can offer each other, but informs Affton and Lemay residents and influences them to spend their hard working money in our community. Win - win!
