“Buying a home is more than sticks and bricks, it’s about a lifestyle.” - Tim Clark, Managing Broker, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty

LIV Sotheby’s International Realty is the exclusive firm representing the prestigious Sotheby’s brand throughout Douglas County, Metro Denver, Boulder, Breckenridge and the Vail Valley. LIV Sotheby’s International Realty was ranked the #1 top producing Sotheby’s International Realty affiliate company in the world. “Working with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty affords me the opportunity to network with the most knowledgeable professionals in the industry and enjoy incredible support, powerful brand recognition and unsurpassed marketing and innovation,” says Associate Broker Mimi Sturtevant. This is the perfect time for realtors to join the team. As the Colorado market is changing, there is unprecedented demand, especially for luxury properties. In fact, Denver was recently named the most expensive non-coastal real estate market in the United States. As Colorado continues to grow as a national and global leader, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty continues to serve and deliver powerful results. “We have recently expanded our presence in Douglas County to better serve our clients,” states Tim Clark, Managing Broker. “With the addition of two new Douglas County offices: 413 Wilcox Street, Castle Rock, CO. 80104 (formally Stucy Realty) and 482 W. Happy Canyon Road, Castle

Rock, CO. 80108 (formally Coldwell Banker Castle Pines), we have associated ourselves with some of the top brokers in Colorado.” These high-profile, retaillevel locations strategically position the company in Douglas County, one of the fastest growing counties in the country. “We’re beyond excited to associate ourselves with the LIV Sotheby’s International Realty brand,” confirms Mike Buck, former owner of Coldwell Banker Castle Pines. “It was important for us to partner with a trusted company with a deep understanding of the real estate market who could take us to the next level of uniting extraordinary homes with extraordinary people from around the world.” The stakes have never been higher when it comes to making important decisions regarding a primary residence, a second home or an investment property. The elevated level of experience, service and quality is available to any buyer or seller regardless of the price of the home. “The name “LIV” represents how we feel about buying a home,” attests Tim. “It’s not just about sticks and bricks it’s about the lifestyle.” Our mission is to help clients “LIV the life they love”, says R. Scott Webber, President, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty.

TRAVEL DESTINATION

Winter Renewal, Maui-St yle IF THE COLD AND SNOW HAVE YOU FEELING SLUGGISH, BOOK YOUR HAWAIIAN VACATION TO RESTORE THE SOUL ARTICLE JOAN DAMERON PHOTOGRAPHY JOSH SEWELL, DAVID DAMERON AND JENI FLECK

NEED SOME VITAMIN “SEA” AND EVERY POSSIBLE ACTIVITY YOU CAN THINK OF TO RENEW YOUR MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT THIS WINTER? “Maui no kai oi” means “Maui is the best,” and this tropical paradise is a playground for all ages, from the beach lover to the adventure seeker. I have a special affinity for this place, where the spirit of aloha seeped into my soul during my first visit almost four decades ago. It is the place that could even squelch my wanderlust. I smile with happy tears as the plane descends over the Pacific and feel my heart yearning to go back the moment I leave. The health benefits of breathing the ocean air, swimming in the sea and just being near the water are only the beginning. “We are beginning to learn that our brains are hardwired to react positively to water, and being near it can calm and connect us, increase innovation and insight and even heal what’s broken,” marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols says. “There are all these cognitive and emotional benefits that we derive every time we spend time by the water.” “Oh, Maui. It is so beautiful,” says Colleen Renner, travel agent and owner of 19th Hole Travel. “It is hard to describe it until you have seen it and experienced it for yourself.” 14

Get on and in the water for more excitement. Early mornings are often best for calmer seas before the trade winds pick up later in the day. Humpback whales migrate to the warm waters of Hawaii every winter, where they breed and nurse their young. These majestic mammals are as curious about their observers as we are about them. It is estimated that more than 10,000 humpbacks make their winter home in the relatively shallow, protected channel between Maui and the surrounding islands. Many outfits offer whale watches with experienced naturalists. Humpbacks are very acrobatic and breach, slap their tails and pectoral fins and spyhop. Captain WHALE WATCHING AND WATER TIME

Steve's Rafting has been offering small-group whale watches since 1986 that create an intimate, interactive experience. The comfortable rigid-hulled inflatables make for some of the most up-close whale encounters on the water. Whales often glide right under the rafts, and the crew provides a wealth of facts about these gentle giants. Hydrophones allow guests to listen to the whales' songs. CaptainSteves.com Trilogy Excursions has been sailing from Maui since 1973 and offers unparalleled service on sleek catamarans. Snorkel trips, romantic Captain's Sunset Dinner Sails and Discover Lanai Tours are highlights. Guests have Hulopo'e Beach Park and Marine Preserve on Lanai to themselves. Snorkel, SNUBA, take a narrated tour of historical Lana'i City and explore a variety of tidal pools. SNUBA (no certification needed!) lets you stay underwater and breathe through a simple regulator connected to an air source that floats on the surface. Reef fish in every color of the rainbow flourish. Green sea turtles are common, and you might even see an endangered hawksbill sea turtle. SailTrilogy.com

Parker Lifestyle | January 2019

Golfers can perfect their swing in paradise, too. From the famed ALL THAT MAUI HAS TO OFFER

bucket list-worthy Plantation Course at Kapalua Resort to Wailea Golf Club and Kaanapali Golf Resort, breathtaking ocean and mountain vistas abound. The fabled Road to Hana is a full-day adventure with surprises around many of the 600 turns. Twin Falls is a short drive from Paia, and the first set of falls is an easy walk from the road. Hang out with locals and tourists as brave souls dive and jump off the rocks into the natural pool. Grab a front-row seat to watch surfers and windsurfers dart in and out of the waves at Ho’okipa Beach Park, and stop for an appetizer and a cocktail at Mama’s Fish House. People from all over the world gather at this iconic restaurant, and you might just rub elbows with your favorite celebrity. Enjoy bounties from the sea at Paia Fish Market with three locations on the island. The draw includes a variety of fresh fish plates prepared just the way you like it: grilled; blackened; Cajun-style; or sauteed in butter, fresh garlic and lemon. Reasonable prices and casual picnic-table dining add to the charm. Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman offers stunning views, farm-to-table ingredients and an edgy twist on traditional tropical cocktails such as mai tais and pina coladas. As the website proclaims, “Monkeypod Kitchen is passionate about handcrafted food, drink and merrymaking.” With live music by local musicians; a friendly staff; and support of local and organic farms, ranches and fishermen, Monkeypod makes it easy to unwind while enjoying one-of-a-kind drinks and dishes. “Aloha” means hello, goodbye and love. Fall in love with Maui, and you will be planning your next trip before you even leave.

WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU TAKE THREE LONGTIME PARKER TENNIS PROS, ENCOURAGING TOWN LEADERS AND AN EAGER TENNIS CROWD WANTING TO STAY LOCAL TO PLAY INDOORS? The Parker Racquet Club, a 48,000-square-foot tennis facility General Manager Barry Riddle hopes will feel like home. “We think of it as an athletic Cheers, where you walk in the door and everyone knows your name and is glad to see you,” Barry says. The privately funded $6 million facility opens this month at the corner of Twentymile Road and Plaza Drive, across the street from The Parker Fieldhouse Recreation Center. Barry co-owns Parker Racquet Club with Steve Prosowski, director of tennis; and Craig Marshall, director of junior tennis. The trio has been a fixture on the Parker tennis scene for many years, coaching at Chaparral, Legend and Ponderosa high schools; and in junior and adult programs through Parker Tennis, a recreational club Barry started with his wife, Suzette, in 2004. During that time, the town has partnered with Parker Tennis to provide programming to the public. Until now, those programs have used only outdoor tennis courts, mainly at Railbender Tennis and Skate Park.

when town officials approached Barry with Parker Tennis to come up with a solution. “Any time the town can work with a private partner to leverage both private and public resources, it’s a win for the community,” says Jim, who is also the parks and recreation manager for the town. “We pride ourselves in being a leader in parks and recreation, but like all agencies, we have limited resources. “We’re excited to work with them because we know they will do a fantastic job. They are homegrown, have strong roots in the community, and they really understand what Parker residents want.” Tennis pro Steve says the goal with the club is to make tennis accessible by keeping court fees and memberships lower than the competition. “We’ve been around for so long, we’ve seen the pitfalls of the other clubs,” Steve says. “We have the freedom to make changes because we’re the owners.” In the end, Barry says everyone involved in Parker Racquet Club wants it to be a state-of-the-art yet down-home club. “People are not necessarily looking to play highlevel tennis but to get better, have fun, be with their friends, and have a place they can go to that is comfortable and friendly,” he says.

offers ideas for a happier and healthier 2019. WHAT ARE SMALL THINGS PEOPLE CAN DO IN JANUARY THAT WILL HAVE A HUGE IMPACT BY NEXT DECEMBER? As we start a new year, it’s always important to review the changes in your life and see if you need to adjust your plans for the coming year. Did you buy a new home? Did you have a baby? Did you change jobs? Are you getting ready to retire? Whether there has been a change or not, there is no time like the present to review your plans, including insurance coverages and financial planning. WHAT ARE THREE THINGS PEOPLE CAN DO

JANUARY IS THE TIME TO REFLECT ON 2018 LIFE CHANGES, THINK ABOUT ALTERING PORTFOLIO FOR YEAR AHEAD ARTICLE JENNIFER STARBUCK PHOTOGRAPHY ROGER BALLARD PHOTOGRAPHY

TO CREATE A HEALTHIER PERSONAL FINANCIAL PORTFOLIO FOR 2019? 1. Know your risk tolerance. If you don’t know your risk tolerance, talk to your adviser and they will help you figure it out. They will find out what’s important to you and how long you want to hold your investment. 2. Diversify. You may not want to put all your eggs in one basket, so mutual funds are an easy way to diversify your investment. 3. Review your investments regularly. This doesn’t necessarily mean every day but at least twice a year to see how your investments are performing and if you need to rebalance. WHAT IS ON YOUR READING LIST RIGHT NOW? My go-to has always been the Millionaire Next Door by Thomas Stanley. It’s a classic and promotes good financial habits. The second is the Power of Zero by David McKnight, which looks at retirement planning and how to get to the 0 percent tax bracket. —Kip Quinn, a Farmers Insurance Agency owner in Parker, is a Colorado native and graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

“I was an avid soda drinker before and was looking for an alternative that was better for me,” Marc says. “I began drinking kombucha for the probiotics, and I noticed a difference in gut health and my overall well-being, and I started feeling better.” He started experimenting with making his own at home, which involves using a starter SCOBY—’bucha slang for “symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast”—that is used in the fermentation process. And the wealth manager by day became obsessed with brewing the elixir. Trubucha, and a new business, was born.
