What makes Donavan OToole happy is placing clients into homes that they never dreamed they could achieve. He worked his way across the globe before settling in the Roaring Fork Valley and has learned a thing or two along the way — negotiating, price-setting, marketing, navigating through contracts, and supporting his clients every step of the way. For Donavan, going above and beyond is standard — that’s why he was in the MLS’s top 10% last year.

design and two in magazine publishing. I somehow managed to raise a wonderful family with four kids and five grandkids, and kept the woman of my dreams for 45 years and counting.

For Roaring Fork Lifestyle’s "Men’s Issue" this month we wanted to share the personal stories of some of our community’s male leaders, offering behind-thescenes glimpses of how they’ve gotten to where they are today. This letter is too short to discuss the challenges I myself have faced as a husband, father, and grandfather, but I can say it has been a real journey. Maybe even comparable to the journey that you have faced or will face. I’ve found that through every trial in life, whether with career, family, or personal hardship, the most important question is always: “How will you react?”

On a lighter note, I can tell you that one of the greatest levels of satisfaction I’ve

It’s important to take ownership of our choices.

We all have many roles to play in life. Our paths are determined by the choices we make, and the lessons we learn when we fail or succeed. In this issue, we celebrate several local men who have worked hard to achieve their goals, and are now sharing

ALL IN THE FAMILY A FATHER, A SON, AND THE FAMILY BUSINESS BEHIND MURRAY DENTAL GROUP

dentistry, and also an insight into the Murray family way of dentistry.

My dad was and is always available for patients in need. Long days and late nights, whatever it took to make sure people were taken care of and that things were done right.

WHEN DID YOU KNOW YOU WANTED TO GO INTO DENTISTRY? Dr. John: Honestly, I wasn’t totally sure I was going to go into dentistry until I was already in the thick of it. I went to college with an open mind and a class schedule filled with prerequisites to get into dental school. I found that I did really well and enjoyed the classes that most thought were the toughest, so I kept going. Before I knew it, I was three years in and taking the DAT, dental aptitude test.

been supported by my wife Barb, John’s wife Mandy, and our family (parents, siblings, and children). In addition, we have many employees (that have become like family to us) that have been with us over 25 years who have helped establish this environment. Being able to do this as a partner with John is a privilege and joy that many people don’t get to experience. It makes me not want to ever retire.

DR. JOHN, WHAT MURRAY FAMILY VALUES WILL HELP YOU LEAD THE PRACTICE INTO THE FUTURE? Dr. John: My dad has the strongest work ethic of anyone I know. He strives for the highest quality and always does the right thing for the patient, no matter what. He has taught me to do this and to remain humble and kind, almost to a fault. These are principles and values that we hope to instill in our children, our team, and certainly what we looked for and found with our new partner Dr. Tim Huson and his wife Dr. Erin Van Gundy.

DR. TIM, WHAT'S IT LIKE TO JOIN SUCH A FAMILY-FOCUSED PRACTICE? Dr. Tim: For me, the family-focused environment is invaluable, especially with regard to our patients and our dental family. It was imperative when looking for my dental home to find this, as I knew I wanted to become a partner in this type of practice. It is indispens(From left) Dr. John, Dr. Bob, and new partner Dr. Tim, who joined the practice in 2017.

FINALLY, DR. BOB, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE LEGACY OF MURRAY DENTAL GROUP IN THE COMMUNITY? Dr. Bob: The goal going forward is to continue providing quality service, and stay on the forefront of techniques, technology, and materials that allow us to do the advanced dentistry that people need, while providing the quality that they deserve.

Garfield and Pitkin counties could grow by an additional 45,000 new residents. And guess what? They all need a place to live and work.So those are a few reasons why it’s smart to invest locally, but let’s also discuss how to make it happen. We’ve found that two of the most common ways locals are investing in valley real estate are: + OUTRIGHT PROPERTY OWNERSHIP: In this case, investors purchase a property and then solely own and manage the property.

If an investor can afford to purchase a property on his/her own, this grants considerable opportunity to generate income and realize potential appreciation. Given the high cost of real estate in the Roaring Fork Valley, buying an investment property outright is often not a feasible option. Investors should keep in mind that owning an investment property, large or small, requires a significant amount of effort. Buyers should take time to consider: Do I have a workable business model?

Am I prepared to be a landlord? Can I withstand an economic downturn and sustain finances through a certain vacancy rate? + PARTNERSHIPS: If buyers don’t have access to capital allowing them to invest alone, they can pool funds and generate a limited liability company (LLC) to invest in real estate. By doing so, this of course allows a group of investors that cannot or are not willing to purchase a property solely to group together and buy assets as an LLC. Investors can even pool IRA and 401K funds into local real estate investments. Don’t let the wolves of Wall Street manage your retirement funds when you could invest those funds in a local, tangible asset. Whether you plan on purchasing investment properties yourself or with partners, it is crucial to seek a trusted, professional commercial broker to assist you. Together we sold over $20 million

THE STYLES YOU WANT + HOW TO GET THEM

The FADE There are many different types of fades, but ultimately a fade haircut is one that tapers in length the further down you go on the back and sides, meaning it isn’t trimmed to just one standard length all around. The level of fade (low, mid or high) depends on what point the shortest part of the hair begins to fade into a longer length.

ASK FOR Taper fade, low fade, mid fade, high fade or skin fade

The man bun This popular style is good for many types of hair as long as you have a lot of it. You’ll need length in the front, back and sides generally long enough to at least brush your shoulders.

KEEP IT CLEAN Be sure to keep your sideburns and neckline trimmed even as your hair grows out.

The quiff Closely related to the pompadour, the quiff haircut requires longer hair in the front and shorter hair in the back. The longer hair in the front is brushed upward and back from the forehead and away from the face. This look can be sleek and shiny for a classic look or texturized and matte for a modern take.

ASK FOR Short sides and a long textured top. Be sure enough hair is left on top to brush back instead of standing straight up.

HOW DID YOU BECOME INVOLVED WITH SEARCH AND RESCUE? Ice: In 2004 a friend mentioned that he was a member of the Search and Rescue team, and invited me to a training meeting. I attended and met a lot of very nice people who shared some of their experiences, which piqued my interest further.
