Rotarians partner with Arizona Helping Hands

Volunteers from the Rotary Club of Scottsdale and the Scottsdale Preparatory High School’s Rotary Interact Club joined forces to complete a community service project with Arizona Helping Hands.

The mission of Arizona Helping Hands is to provide essential needs for children in foster care through programs promoting safety, permanency and health.

The Rotary Club of Scottsdale’s foundation provided $3,000 in support of this project and the volunteers provided much-needed smiles for kids by making Birthday Bags for 40 foster children.

Each volunteer was given a foster child’s wish list.

Arizona Helping Hands’ warehouse in Northeast Phoenix has beds, cribs, clothing, backpacks and school supplies, toiletries and toys from ongoing toy drives.

Per the club’s community service project director, Laura Biever, the volunteers selected the birthday toys and books to go in each child’s gift bag. They gift wrapped the items and then decorated the bags.

“Arizona Helping Hands is truly appreciative of The Rotary Club of Scottsdale for participating in a Birthday Dreams team-building experience and sponsoring 40 birthday packages for boys

In 2019, Arizona Helping Hands made birthdays special for 3,596 children in foster care turning 1 to 21. and girls in foster care throughout Arizona,” says Sherie Siegel, Arizona Helping Hands’ corporate engagement officer.

“The group helped to personalize and decorate birthday bags specific for a child turning 1 to 12, select the perfect gifts and new book, wrap the presents and finish by tying a bow at the top of the bag. In 2019, Arizona Helping Hands made birthdays special for 3,596 children in foster care turning 1 to 21.”

• Mortgages and home equity: Clients can request to defer payments, with payments added to the end of the loan.

In all of these instances, there will be no negative credit bureau reporting for up-todate clients.

It has also paused foreclosure sales, evictions and repossessions.

All Bank of America teammates who work with clients are trained to identify and assist impacted clients and provide the right support to address their unique needs.

Clients facing financial hardships related to the coronavirus are encouraged to visit the company’s Client Resources website and contact the client services team for assistance.

WaFd Bank will expedite processing for lines of credit up to $30,000 to existing and new credit-worthy clients in their regional market who have been in operation at least two years and can show a 10% loss in revenue due to the impact of coronavirus.

Contact a WaFd banker or visit wafdbank. com to learn more.

Queen Creek Olive Mill stores fully stocked

The Queen Creek Olive Mill isn’t necessarily top of mind to most Valley residents as a local grocer, but while large food stores struggle keeping up with demand, Queen Creek Olive Mill’s two locally owned and operated marketplace stores have plenty of essential groceries on their shelves.

“Bread, cage-free eggs, fresh and dried pasta are just a few items we currently have in stock and will continue to have at both of our locations,” says Perry Rea, owner of the Queen Creek Olive Mill.

“We even have cleaning and personal care products available, including allpurpose cleaner, laundry and bar soap.

As small family-operated stores, we have a large network of local strategic suppliers that we have supported for over 15 years and we want to assure Valley families that in this challenging time, you don’t have to worry about empty shelves when shopping for your family meals.”

For the Kierland Commons location, call 480-361-9860. For the Queen Creek location, call 480-400-2302 for to-go orders from the eatery. To check stock, visit queencreekolivemill.com.

Evening to Paw raises record-breaking funds for charity The Arizona Animal Welfare League’s annual An Evening to Paws: Mutt Gala had all the pup-arazzi in Scottsdale busy on March 7 as four- and two-legged guests dressed to the nines walked the pink carpet rolled out at the Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa.

It was a record-breaking night for the state’s oldest and largest no-kill shelter, which raised $415,000 with the help of an anonymous donor who matched up to $100,000. This year, the money raised goes to AAWL’s Medical Miracle Fund, which covers the cost of care for the most difficult rescues who come to the shelter.

It was a record-breaking night for the state’s oldest and largest no-kill shelter, which raised $415,000 with the help of an anonymous donor who matched up to $100,000. This year, the money raised

at this event goes to AAWL’s Medical Miracle Fund, which covers the cost of care for the most diffi cult rescues who come to the shelter.

The event’s honorary chairman, Dr. Shanti Jha, was recognized on stage for utilizing his medical expertise to hundreds of the most difficult cases that have come through the doors of AAWL over the years. The surgeon, who works for Animal Medical & Surgical Center in Scottsdale, doesn’t just use his time for severely complicated procedures. He has also paid out of pocket for resources, such as a titanium rod that enabled a dog to walk without pain.

Jha was reunited with many of the adopted dogs he has helped through the Medical Miracle Fund. To show off their new “leash on life,” dogs who have survived extreme medical needs walked across the event stage in bespoke outfits created by Ivan Lugo, the owner of Lugari Pet Salon in Scottsdale. Each outfit was personally crafted for the dog and then sold for donations to AAWL. The Arizona Animal Welfare League rescues, rehomes and rehabilitates more than 4,000 animals every year. For more information about AAWL and its Medical Miracle Fund, visit aawl.org/ medicalmiraclefund.

Brighter Way Institute receives $900K from Parsons Dental care nonprofit Brighter Way Institute has been awarded a $900,000 multiyear grant from The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation. The Arizona-based organization is dedicated to transforming lives by improving the oral health of economically disadvantaged and significantly underserved individuals in its community.

The grant will allow Brighter Way to expand the reach of its mobile dental unit and support the four dental centers operating in the greater Phoenix area.

“Far from a luxury, proper dental care plays a major role in a person’s well-being,” businesswoman Renee Parsons says. “The work of Brighter Way Institute is relieving pain, improving health, increasing self-confidence and restoring employability among our community’s most vulnerable populations.”

Brighter Way patients are most often uninsured or underinsured, live at or below the national poverty level and deal with

Plexus expands to Mexico

Plexus Worldwide, a leading direct-selling health and wellness company, celebrated its expansion into the Mexico market with a festive event at its Scottsdale headquarters.

Plexus founders Tarl Robinson and Alec Clark raised the Mexican flag in front of the company’s office building on March 5, kicking off a day-long celebration that honored Mexico’s people and culture. More than 400 team members and guests were in attendance, including the consul general of Mexico in Phoenix, Jorge Mendoza.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the rich traditions of Mexico with our valued employees

a variety of social and health disparities.

Many of them present with extreme and complicated oral health disease. Dental decay can lead to chronic respiratory infections, poor academic or work performance and social isolation. These conditions often have devastating consequences throughout a person’s life.

“The gift from The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation will enable us to expand our services to reach even more people in need,” says Brighter Way Institute’s founder and CEO, Kris Volcheck, DDS. “Our patients include children who may have never been to a dentist, older youth, adults, veterans and seniors, many of whom face homelessness or poverty and have not had access to oral health care for several years.”

A reported 30% of Arizona (1.3 million individuals) has limited access to dental care.

By utilizing an innovative model that incorporates staff and volunteer dentists and local

dental educational institutions—engaging the for-profit and nonprofit sectors—Brighter Way is significantly addressing the growing needs and health inequities among the poor and homeless in Maricopa County.

“Brighter Way Institute is doing a whole lot more than giving people a nice smile or straight teeth,” says Bob Parsons, who founded GoDaddy. “Proper dental care is critical for maintaining overall health and improving long-term outcomes for people in marginalized communities.”

Brighter Way provides a complete range of oral health care services, from general preventive care (exams, X-rays, cleanings, sealants and fillings) to complex restoration (root canals, extractions, dentures, crowns and implants). In 2018, Brighter Way provided more than 95,200 oral health services and served 11,200 individual patients in roughly 35,500 visits.

Opportunities SCC's tax programs are the wave of the future

By Chris Haines, M.Ed.

A

s tax preparation season is in full swing, would it surprise you to learn that one of the most in-demand career opportunities locally is in the tax industry?

Everyone dreads being audited by the IRS, but when it happens, most taxpayers seek out professional counsel from attorneys and certified public accountants.

There is also a third professional who can help. Known as enrolled agents, they are federally licensed to represent taxpayers before the IRS when it comes to collections, audits and appeals.

According to the National Association of Enrolled Agents, individuals in this profession have a broad range of opportunities in corporate, individual or government employment; can start their own business; may practice full or part time; and can have high earning potential.

Enrolled agents are the only professionals who are granted the right to practice by the U.S. government and can represent clients in any state across the country.

Attorneys and certified public accountants, on the other hand, are licensed by each state and are limited in their practice.

To meet the growing demand for enrolled agents locally, Scottsdale Community College is launching an enrolled agent

certificate of completion program starting with the fall 2020 semester. This particular program provides the training necessary to prepare a student to successfully pass the national exam that covers every aspect of the tax code and ultimately leads to the enrolled agent designation.

Separate from tax-related employment opportunities, the Phoenix area has been attracting major players in the insurance industry in recent years, including Nationwide, State Farm and Farmers.

Separate from tax-related employment opportunities, the Phoenix area has been attracting major players in the insurance industry in recent years, including Nationwide, State Farm and Farmers. For those looking for a fulfilling career that does not require a bachelor ’s degree, SCC’s new risk management and insurance studies program helps prepare students for a wide variety of professions within the insurance industry.

Students pursuing either a risk management and insurance studies degree

or certificate program are also trained to successfully complete the associate of general insurance certification exams.

AINS is a nationally recognized verification of one’s knowledge in general property and liability insurance.

With Scottsdale’s booming real estate market, it’s no wonder more and more people are pursuing a career in this industry. To provide an easier pathway, SCC’s online real estate principles I and II class specifically prepares students to qualify to take the Arizona Real Estate Licensing exam. One online course meets the 90-hour state requirement.

SCC is the only Arizona college to offer the prelicensing course online. In addition, students may earn a certificate of completion in real estate by completing a one-day, face-to-face course in contract writing.

These three new educational programs alone demonstrate the strategic role that a community college can play by providing in-demand skills training for students that directly align with the needs of local employers.

John and Kendra Scheer co-own Scoopwell’s Dough Bar, tucked inside Phoenix’s Uptown Plaza.

Sweet Success Airpark couple making a lot of dough with Scoopwell’s

alling all cookie connoisseurs—the ones scolded by grandma one too many times for sneaking spoonfuls of raw batter behind her back.

Edible cookie dough is taking the Valley by storm, with eclectic food trucks and sugary boutiques hopping onto the national trend at every turn.

But one local dough parlor in particular is setting the tone.

Scoopwell’s Dough Bar, tucked inside Phoenix’s Uptown Plaza at 100 E. Camelback Road, has mastered the sweet spot between nostalgia and safety with a recipe guaranteed to make your dough dreams come true.

With eye-catching flavors like lemon poppyseed and oatmeal M&M, the shop offers a unique blend of ingredients that many of its competitors do not—a dough to be enjoyed either raw or baked.

“The heart and soul of what we do is edible cookie dough—because who doesn’t love cookie dough?” says Kendra Scheer, who co-owns the operation with her husband, John. They live in the Scottsdale Airpark.

“We’ve just taken it and made it safe to eat, but you can still bake it.”

The husband-and-wife team works tirelessly to create tasty recipes using heat-treated flour and pasteurized eggs to combat E. coli and salmonella.

But because most edible dough brands forgo eggs entirely, Scoopwell’s strategic use of the ingredient gives it a competitive edge, Kendra says “We use pasteurized egg whites, which is like when you get a cocktail at a bar with the frothy white stuff,” she explains. “It’s made from egg whites.

“We thought having eggs in the batter tastes good,” the mother of two sets of twins adds. “Otherwise, you lose the key characteristics that make it cookie dough.

To me, it’s not cookie dough unless you can make it into cookies.”

The couple’s secret recipe allows custom-

ers to indulge in the dough straight from the mixing bowl, or bake it at 350 degrees, between 7 and 9 minutes, for warm, gooey results.

Scoopwell’s wide range of from-scratch flavors includes brownie batter; rainbow sprinkle; Oh, Gingersnap!; peanut butter explosion and Gimme S’mores.

Although chocolate chip is a fan favorite, John says, his personal preference is the mixture sans the chips.

“My favorite is just the dough without the chocolate chips; that’s what I would always have my mom make,” he shares.

“A lot of little kids love it, too, because they don’t want all of the distraction. They just

want the pure dough.”

The scrumptious treat can be ordered in four, seven or 10 mix-and-match scoop sizes.

Much like an ice cream parlor, Scoopwell’s offers mix-ins at 50 cents per extra topping, with additives like chocolate fudge, peanut butter chips, pretzels, Twix bars and marshmallows.

For those who prefer a little more “chill” with their dough, ice cream sandies, as well as the “Night Shift”—a mouth-watering marriage between half-baked dough, vanilla ice cream, homemade whipped cream and a topping of choice—are also available.

MEET YourAirparkNeighbor the interior in a modern, yet fresh and hip, atmosphere.

Hand-painted illustrations of nuts and bolts, done by local artist Timothy Brennan, color the walls while understated grey-andwhite-marble tile covers the floor.

“We didn’t want people to come and be like, ‘Oh, it’s a cute little mom-and-pop shop,’” Kendra says. “We wanted it to still have that whimsical, nostalgic feel but also look like a polished business we could grow and expand.”

John and Kendra have been crafting their cookie dough skills for as long as they can remember. The Nebraska natives attended the University of Arizona together, where they quickly built a reputation for themselves as the couple to befriend.

“We have always just literally loved cookies,” John recalls. “In college, my roommates would ask us to make them cookies.

We would always have endless amounts of cookies in our room and everyone wanted to hang out.

“They would even say, ‘Hey, you want to bring the cookie dough to the party?’ So it was kind of our thing,” he adds with a chuckle.

After getting married and spending

several years in New York City, John as an investment banker and Kendra as a pediatric surgery nurse, the pair realized they were ready for change.

Two sets of twins later, Scoopwell’s was born.

“He (John) was doing finance and was a little bit burned out,” Kendra says. “A similar concept opened in New York and one day John was just like, ‘I think we could do our own version of that, but better.’”

They agreed to move back West and soon launched Scoopwell’s in 2018 as an edible cookie dough pop-up at Tempe Public Market.

Kendra, who is pregnant with their fifth child, describes the process of opening their bar as a never-ending learning curve— neither she nor her husband had any prior experience as business owners.

But she and John share the same level of gratitude for their leap of faith.

“Starting a business is scary,” Kendra says. “There’s so much we didn’t realize we didn’t know—even though we knew we didn’t know a lot. But if you think about it too much, you probably won’t do it—and we’re so glad we did.”

The working mom adds that she is most

18 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / APRIL 2020

proud of how her little ones have received the move, though.

“They think we’re like rock stars; they love telling people about it, which can sometimes be embarrassing,” she laughs. “It’s also very, very sweet.”

John tells Airpark News the family business has helped him find a new level of fulfillment in ways his former jobs lacked.

The banker turned business owner says he appreciates the daily interactions with customers.

“It’s like you’re trying to get smiles on people’s faces and you have fun bringing people and the community together,” he expresses. “That was our goal.”

After a year of firsts, the dough parlor is now looking to travel.

Scoopwell’s is offering catering services throughout Greater Phoenix, Kendra shares, including Peoria, Scottsdale, Gilbert and Tempe.

“We do a lot of weddings, corporate events, birthday parties and kids parties,” she explains. “That’s kind of our big, next step that we’ve leaned into.”

Scoopwell’s is open from noon to 10 p.m.

Sunday to Thursday, and noon to 11 p.m.

Friday to Saturday. 

Home Key acquisitions elevate Landsea Homes to leading homebuilder in Arizona

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

andsea Homes has found a home in Arizona.

In only three and a half years, Landsea Homes has opened two offices in the Valley—Deer Valley and the Scottsdale Airpark—and this year, the company is expected to deliver 1,000 homes in Arizona.

“We went from zero to a thousand plus in just two years,” says Greg Balen, the Arizona Division president.

“It’s been organic growth. We initially set up a team here to look for a project but that quickly evolved into realizing the value of having an even greater presence in this market. Over the last two years, we’ve acquired two home-building companies, Pinnacle West Homes and Garrett Walker Homes.”

Founded in 2013, Landsea Homes is a Newport Beach, California-based homebuilder of high-performance homes and sustainable master-planned communities in major U.S. markets such as Southern and Northern California, Arizona, Boston and New York.

In Arizona, Landsea offers single-family, detached

homes—one and two story—in Buckeye, Chandler, El Mirage, Glendale, Goodyear, Peoria, Phoenix, Queen Creek, Surprise and Tolleson.

“Our leadership team consists of seasoned executives who are very familiar with all of the U.S. markets,” he says.

“So, we get a larger perspective on housing that works its way into the products. Our team combines international experience with a locally focused approach.

“Our strategic focus continues to be creating communities in highly desirable markets across the United States, and Arizona fits that criteria.

“We really believe in this market. It’s a great place to live.

With a robust local economy and continued job growth, the area is attracting new residents and providing opportunities for current homeowners to expand to accommodate their growing families.”

Balen says Landsea Homes—in particular the Garrett Walker Homes brand—is appealing to first-time buyers.

“We’re able to offer high quality homes at attainable price points,” he says. “It’s very compelling for someone who’s currently renting to buy a home. We do a lot of research to understand our customers and exactly what

works well for them. That is very important, as we can devote resources to things they want, as opposed to things we think they should want.

“Our homebuyers have their standard options and then they can choose upgraded carpet, countertops, and personalize the home to suit their needs.”

In addition to that, Landsea Homes launched its High Performance Home Program earlier this year, in select communities in Arizona and California. The new program features three core pillars, including home automation, sustainability and energy savings, which gives homebuyers connected living at their fingertips, providing ease, security and privacy.

“Sustainability is a defining characteristic for Landsea Homes, and the company’s deep respect for the shared environment of the communities created are reflected in every Landsea High Performance Home,” Balen says.

“We take great pride in delivering responsibly designed homes with the highest standards in sustainable building technology so that every detail creates a healthy living environment and enhances the lives of our residents.”

Balen adds that the insulation makes the homes more comfortable and less susceptible to the hostile environment in Arizona. For sustainability, the company has much lower waste factors than the industry average.

“The job sites are safer because there’s less extra material lying around before it gets disposed of,” Balen says.

“It’s smart. We’re always trying to do a better job that way.”

All of Landsea’s High Performance Homes are supported by a partnership with leading technology company Apple and utilize the Apple HomeKit environment to operate all home automation features from one mobile application.

The smart home automation features, installed and compatible with Apple HomeKit, include an Apple TV media manager device, MeshNet wireless internet throughout the home, entry door locks, thermostat control, garage door opener control, light dimmer

Greg Balen and Karen Dresher of Landsea Homes say expansion is in the works.

switches, doorbell camera pre-wire, and high-touch customer service with an individualized training session from an expert who ensures all applications are working properly.

“Today’s homebuyers seek a balanced life through technology, the ability to stay connected and the option to be in control, all while maintaining a high level of privacy and security. Our High Performance Homes and partnership with Apple provide the features and conveniences people have come to expect,” he adds.

To further its sustainability mindset, Landsea Homes includes various features that contribute to healthy living, including appliances that reduce energy waste and tankless water heaters that generate hot water faster.

With each High Performance Home, the homebuyer is provided with upgraded roof insulation, wall insulation and floor insulation, more efficient mechanical systems, Energy Star-rated appliances and LED

lighting. The cost-in-use features lower monthly bills and encourage environmental awareness and stewardship.

“On day one, a homebuyer can come in and live in a functioning smart home that they can augment with other products and tailor to their lifestyle,” Balen says. “Our tagline is ‘Live In Your Element’ and that’s what we want our customers to be able to do on a daily basis.”

Landsea Homes plans to continue to grow and expand in Arizona and retain their foothold as one of the largest homebuilders in the state.

“We’re investigating other markets,” Balen says. “Our focus is always on overall lifestyle and allowing our customers to live their best life in that market.

“At the end of the day, we do a really good job of understanding our customers and creating opportunities for them to thrive in their homes—perhaps the most important purchase decision they make.”

ICF Specialists and Cullum Homes raised money for the Special Olympics by painting ICF bricks in primary colors, like Lego.

The money was raised through YouTube videos.

Constructing a

‘LEGO HOUSE’ Contractors building support for the Special Olympics

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski couple building a 4,415-squarefoot home in The Village at Silverleaf allowed Airparkbased Cullum Homes to color the skeleton of their house like Lego to show support of the Special Olympics.

Insulated concrete forms are frequently compared to Lego, so Cullum Homes’ managing principal Lindsay CullumColwell and Litchfield Park-based ICF Specialists Ltd. teamed to build the block toy concept for the first time in Scottsdale.

The couple’s name was not released.

The Arizona-made ICF blocks were painted in the bright colors of red, green, blue, white and yellow.

“We were really excited to be involved this year in the Lego build,” CullumColwell says. “It’s something that ICF Specialists has started putting on annually.

They are the subcontractor we used for the ICF block.

“This is something they started last year. The blocks look like Lego and they stack like Lego. The job site looked like little Lego men building bricks. It’s eye catching. It’s an opportunity to talk about the Special Olympics.”

According to Vicki Connell, ICF Specialists Ltd.’s office manager, ICF blocks are frequently compared to Lego.

“They’re very similar,” Connell says.

“They’re a giant scale of a Lego block.

There are lugs that snap into the next block.

It was the brainchild of one of the owners.

He thought, ‘What if we painted them primary colors and make it a charitable type of project?’”

The Special Olympics was chosen because one of ICF Specialists’ HVAC subcontractors is involved in the organization. The first “Lego home” was in Waddell last year.

“It was off of the 303 and Peoria and we just had droves of cars driving by,” Connell says. “It took off from there. We talked about doing it again this year. We met with Cullum Homes and they decided to do it for one of their projects.”

The only obstacle, Connell says, has been the HOAs, but once they understand the blocks aren’t multicolored perma-

nently, they’re on board. At Silverleaf, the bricks were stuccoed over in early April.

“Those blocks are typically white, and they stay exposed throughout the construction process just like a framed home would be,” Cullum-Colwell adds. “The ICF replaces framing and insulation and foam they put on the outside of a framed wall. The stucco layers go on top of it. A regular passerby would never know those blocks were painted to look like classic Lego bricks.”

Like ICF Specialists, Cullum Homes is dedicated to giving back to the community.

The companies raised money through donations and viewings of YouTube videos.

“We’ve been philanthropically minded over our history,” Cullum-Colwell says.

“When ICF Specialists came to us and asked for our involvement, we were thrilled to be involved. Silverleaf is also philanthropically minded. We thought we would utilize that community and bring the Special Olympics’ message to the public and garner increased support for it.

“People were really grabbing on to it.

It’s so unique. You don’t see it very often.

We hope to be invited next year. We think this is a creative way to use building science to bring awareness to a cause.” 

The Heat is On

JBS Executive Detailing sanitizes planes in the age of coronavirus

Jeff Burrows started JBS Executive Detailing when he was 13 in Southern California by cleaning cars. (Photo

W

ith the advent of COVID-19, JBS Executive Detailing has found its services in demand.

The Scottsdale-based aircraft cleaning and detailing company has received calls from flight schools, commercial airlines and private aircraft owners to sanitize their planes.

“They’re as busy as they can be,” says Jeff Burrows, JBS Executive Detailing founder.

“They don’t have time to properly clean and sanitize the aircraft. There’s a student and an instructor. That airplane may see 20 to 30 different people throughout the day. The germs spread rapidly. That’s where we come in.”

Using Boeing- and Airbus-approved products, the staff heads inside planes to use cotton-tip swabs to clean nooks and crannies.

They wipe down seats, vacuum, dry vapor steam clean carpet and upholstery, clean fabric, leather and lavatories.

“My clients specifically want steaming,” Burrows says. “The temperature is the ultimate killer. Once you hit 180 degrees for a few seconds, everything is dead.

“Our steamer at the head will reach 280 degrees. That’s more than enough to kill anything. Most cleaners do not work on all the different viruses. They build up a resistance

to staph and MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus). They’re not stopped by general cleaners. Heat is the end all, be all.”

The exterior services include plexiglass polishing; degrease and clean fuselage buildup; debugging; de-icing boot preparation and sealing; brightwork polishing and protection; landing gear clean and degrease; belly degrease and steam cleaning; exterior polishing; paint restoration; exterior aircraft coating and jetway rash removal.

Burrows started his detailing business when he was 13, working on automobiles in Southern California.

Organically, it grew to general aviation when he serviced private airplanes in Scottsdale and Carefree. He was inspired a bit by his grandfather, who was an aerospace engineer for Boeing. Burrows’ brother is an air traffic controller.

“When he started flying 10 years ago, he said I had to look into detailing airplanes,” says Burrows, who moved to Arizona from Southern California six years ago. “When I started this business, I was just detailing friends’ and neighbors’ cars. I looked into airplanes and it’s been working out.”

In December, JBS had three employees.

In the past four months, JBS acquired a com-

24 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / APRIL 2020

mercial airline account and increased the staff to seven employees.

JBS Executive Detailing works with SkyRanch at Carefree, Chandler Municipal, Phoenix Deer Valley, Falcon Field, Glendale Municipal, Phoenix Goodyear, Laughlin/Bullhead International, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway, Phoenix Sky Harbor International, Scottsdale and Stellar Airpark Chandler airports.

Burrows describes his employees as “young” and continuing their education, particularly in aviation.

“JBS looks for energetic team players, but also utilizes a senior retired executive to help manage operations,” Burrows says. “This diversity of age and duties serves JBS well.

We believe this is one of the many things that makes JBS successful.

“I think the big thing is we will give our customers what they want. We’re very focused on the customer and helping their needs. That’s what’s led to our success.”  JBS Executive Detailing 480-808-4229, info@jbsed.com, jbsed.com

Most Admired Leader; Most Admired Dad

Barron’s top Arizona adviser Trevor Wilde treats business like family

By Alison Bailin Batz

T

revor Wilde was named Barron’s top Arizona adviser, but the secret to his success lies at home: family.

“Lead and love your own,” says Wilde, the managing director of Wilde Wealth Management Group. “Also, apply the responsibility you feel toward those more important in your life to your work, especially if you run a business. I took my first lessons in what would become this life philosophy from a young age.”

The seeds of leadership

From the second his feet hit the hot summer asphalt, jumping barefoot out of his family’s moving truck in 1982, Wilde knew Arizona was home.

“I still remember feeling the heat beneath my feet,” Wilde remarks. “Moving to Arizona from Utah was a big adjustment, but I haven’t left since and now I’m raising my own family here.”

As the oldest of four kids—three of whom were adopted, including himself—

26 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / APRIL 2020

you would assume Wilde had a nontraditional upbringing. However, that was not the case.

“My parents raised my siblings and me with very strong family values,” Wilde says. “They never let us feel like we were anything other than completely their children. There was never an ‘a-ha’ moment of realizing we were adopted; we always knew.”

Throughout his childhood, family closeness was imbedded in every element

Instilling a family-first attitude at work and especially at home— where he is dad to four daughters—is paramount to Trevor Wilde. (Photo courtesy Trevor Wilde)

School, Wilde studied business and finance at the University of Arizona. His goal was to one day work in finance like his father. He also played on the school’s football team.

Family business leadership

In 2003, after graduating and surviving a winter in Minneapolis with a large financial firm primarily focused on retirement planning and investments, Wilde partnered with his father, Bill, to found Wilde Wealth Management Group with an eye to do something very different.

With Wilde Wealth Management Group, their mission was to offer boutique, customized investment and planning advice in a holistic fashion, and to offer clients expanded in-house service offerings from fellow independent experts and specialists in the fields of legal, taxes, risk management, family services, real estate and insurance.

“Obviously, we can’t be all things to all people,” Wilde says. “So, we decided to partner with experts at every level of professional service so we could take the puzzle pieces that make up individuals’ and families’ lives and help them sort through them to create a roadmap to enable them to reach their financial and life goals.”

The business thrived as a result. The family dynamic also grew right along with the firm, which today has offices in Scottsdale, Payson, Tucson, Tempe and Glendale as well as a satellite branch in Indiana.

“In addition to all the work my dad and I did together, my siblings Vanessa, Seth and Whitney have all been employed by our company at one time or another,” Wilde says. “It’s important to not treat them too much like family at work—so I make sure to treat everyone like family instead.”

Community leadership of his life—from Monday family nights to regular family dinners. When it came to his future, Wilde always wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps.

“I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to grow up to be when I was a kid; I just knew I wanted to help people,” Wilde says.

“My whole childhood, I looked up to my dad’s business experience as an example of what to do right. He really opened my eyes to financial services.”

After graduating from Horizon High

Wilde Wealth Management Group ensures that family love extends out to the community through their local involvement, which was very important to Wilde growing up.

“As kids, my brother and I were both Eagle Scouts, and so was my dad,” Wilde says. “There was a strong emphasis on community giving, and I make sure to include that in the business today.”

As such, he champions the Wilde for Arizona Community Outreach Program, which empowers the entire firm to be active in community involvement. Throughout

the program, they positively impacted nonprofits like Feed my Starving Children, St. Mary’s Food Bank, Cell Phones for Soldiers, Sunshine Acres, Briggs 4 Kidz and Child Crisis Arizona. Its annual Toys for Tots fundraiser recently celebrated its 16th year. In addition, the program gives back to local community partners by hosting events from backpack drives to school fundraisers, in addition to regular financial contributions.

“We love to be able to give back to the community and always invite our clients to be a part of that,” Wilde says. “At our latest trip to Feed My Starving Children, we were joined by 45 clients. I love the people we serve, as well as the people we employ and work with every day.”

Beyond that, Wilde showed resilience and dutiful leadership in recent weeks as the coronavirus pandemic shifted to the United States.

“We implemented a work-from-home schedule for our team members, and all Wilde staff who are working remotely made themselves readily available to clients via phone and of course email and text messages,” Wilde says. “We also moved all in-person meetings to conference calls as well, in the best interest of everyone’s health and well-being.”

The staff has also allowed clients to reach out for advice on subjects outside of their scope of service.

“Our aim is to make this period easier on our clients and team alike,” Wilde says.

“We will diligently monitor the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health agencies for the latest developments relating to COVID-19 and will continue to follow the guidance of local and state government and public health officials.”

Family leadership

While working from home, Wilde enjoys spending extra time with his daughters Peyton, Presley, Piper and Paige.

“My upbringing and the way I run my business definitely impact how my wife, Meghan, and I are raising our kids,” Wilde says. “She’s also from a close-knit family and understands the importance it has had on her life.”

Above all else, one central theme remains.

“For me, family is everything—at work, at home and to those who need a little family kindness all across Arizona,” Wilde says. 

His college baseball career sadly ended before it started. During a game senior year of high school, he heard a loud pop in his arm.

“It was bad. At only 18, I needed Tommy John surgery, which more or less means they took a healthy ligament from me and inserted it into my arm to repair what could have been permanent damage,” Terán says.

“Think holes drilled into bones above and below my elbow, and what promised to be months of recovery.”

He rehabbed in Tucson with his family and was forced to take an entire year’s worth of college online.

“While I was rehabbing, the coach who recruited me left the team, and it meant my scholarship was likely off the table,” Terán says.

“So, I needed a plan B.” Plan B was enrolling at Paradise Valley ComVicente Terán volunteering on munity College, where he behalf of the Scottsdale Active 20-30 Club with the local Boys & quickly knocked out his Girls Club.

But “I grew up with a solid family foundation and really admired my my mom was an art teacher, so I wanted to dad. He faced a ton of challenges at a young find something that helped people the way age. He lost his father and found himself she did through her work.”

He combined art and science to study living in poverty in Mexico. With a lot of hard work, he overcame adversity, realized construction management, and he would the American Dream and eventually became later earn a secondary degree in structural engineering. an architect,” he says.

“I figured the right move was engineer“One of my favorite memories was helping him build our family home. That ing, but quickly learned it was not for was my introduction to construction and me,” Terán says. “Thanks to an internship,

however, I found my home.”

In 2014, he interned for Chasse Building Team, where he appreciated not only the work, but that they were locally owned and only focused on building projects here and in Tucson. The internship turned into a full-time position, first as a project engineer and then a project manager.

“The work is impactful. One of our core focuses is helping to build and rebuild schools across Arizona,” Terán says.

“And the way we do it is fascinating. Our innovative process is called Chasse Lean. We developed it to help us work smarter—and faster—to ensure kids get their new school quickly and responsibly.”

According to Terán, Chasse Lean starts with identifying the community—everyone involved in successfully completing the project. The community adheres to Chasse’s Lean Culture by being respectful of each other, collaborating by asking instead of telling, and striving to get better every day.

“We then invite the community to participate in a Pull Planning Session. Using a graph schedule and sticky notes, each community member can map out their task, what they need to start, how many days the task will take and how many team members are involved,” Terán says. “The end result is a schedule the community collectively creates and agrees upon.”

From there, weekly meetings and daily huddles with their trade partners are critical.

A website detailing the progress of the project is also developed to ensure all parties are up to date at all times.

“We have completed over 150 projects worth in excess of $500 million across Arizona over the past five-plus years on time—or early—within budget using this process, including Agua Fria High School, Frank Elementary School, Sky at Chandler Airpark, The Osborn Residences, Tucson Premium Outlets, Overture Kierland, Mana House, Dove Mountain CSTEM K-8 School, Canyon

View High School, Mesa Artspace Lofts, Cedar Crossing, Aviva and many more,” Terán says.

Terán is also a leader in the organization’s outreach to local schools.

“When we partner with a school to help update or rebuild it, we like to get the kids involved in a special way,” Terán says.

“We actually have a STEM-based program, which includes classroom instruction and assemblies, allowing students to learn about the construction process, have firsthand experience on the construction of their new school and learn about the different career paths the construction industry offers.”

This work with students—as well as his team members—also inspired Terán to get more involved in the community.

“I don’t think there is a single member of Chasse not involved in some sort of charity or association, especially our owner Barry Chasse, who’s been actively involved in several boards as well as a leader in community giving, donating $3.5 million to groups in need through our giving program in the past few years alone,” Terán says.

It was Chasse and a few others at the firm, in fact, who introduced him to the Scottsdale Active 20-30 Club.

“We host a series of events to raise money so we can support children’s organizations in town,” Terán says. “After signing on in 2017, I had the honor of serving in a leadership role for two of our main events: the NiteFlite golf tournament and NiteFlite gala.”

Through these events, which Terán chaired in 2018, 20-30 raised over $600,000 for those in need. He also led Chasse in taking an active role in a third event: Brokers for Kids.

“Brokers for Kids is a year-long fundraising event involving commercial real estate teams throughout the Valley. It culminates with an annual Brokers for Kids Olympiad, where our team battled it out through football toss, basketball, cornhole and bocce ball,” says Terán, whose team earned third place in 2019.

“The money raised for Boys Hope Girls Hope, Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children, Sharing Down Syndrome Arizona, Playworks, Care Fund, Arizona Burn Foundation, First Tee of Phoenix and more.”

Terán, who is also a member of the Arizona Builders Alliance Young Builder Council and co-chairman of its legislative committee, has been so committed that he was recently honored with the 2019 Scottsdale Active 20-30 Club Member of the Year Award.

“The award was special, but being involved in building like my dad and in helping kids like my mom is what makes me the most proud,” Terán says. 

Scottsdale census data reveals historic trends

A

By Joan Fudala s Scottsdalians and all Americans fill out their U.S. Census forms this month—some via the internet for the first time—we’re focused on the future. We’ve been told our collective responses will have an impact on federal funding, U.S. Congressional districts and city service delivery. But what do past U.S. Census forms reveal about Scottsdale history? Take a look at the who’s who of who was, and what they did for a living:  The U.S. Constitution, Article One, Section Two, mandates that a national census be taken to count the population every 10 years.

Response is also required by law. The federal government began census-taking in 1790.  U.S. Census records are held confidential for 72 years, thus the most recent data available to the general public is the 1940 census.  Early censuses were taken by hand by enumeration districts—defined as the area a

single enumerator could cover in a prescribed period.  Because Scottsdale was not officially named/settled until the 1890s (Winfield and Helen Scott filed homestead documents in 1888), no meaningful census data is available until 1900.

The 1900 census of the Arizona Territory, taken in June and July, shows that the Scotts (Winfield, Helen and daughter Minnie Albright) were spending the summer in Prescott in a rented house, and he listed his occupation as retired Army chaplain and minister. Questions on the 1900 form included whether individuals could read, write, speak English and what their immigration and/or

naturalization years were.  In 1900, Scottsdale’s enumeration district was No. 26, but the settlement was not listed as “Scottsdale,” rather by its location in the Arizona Territory: Township 2N/ Range 4E. Among the residents and their listed occupations were: Wilford (farmer) and Mittie Hayden and six children; George (school teacher) and Alza Blount and three children, Verner Vanderhoof (school teacher), the Rev. Judson Elliott (preacher) and Minnie and three children; Howard (farmer) and

Ida Underhill and two children; James L. (grocer) and Elizabeth Davis, two children and two boarders. Most residents listed their occupation as farmer or farm laborer; others included lawyer, schoolteacher, boarding housekeeper, bookkeeper, seamstress, horticulturalist and lumber merchant.  In 1910, the U.S. Census Day was April 15. Scottsdale was Enumeration District 75 in the Arizona Territory, and John Townsend was the census enumerator. On his handwritten enumeration sheets, the name “Scottsdale” was amended to read “Scottsville.” It was the last year that Winfield and Helen Scott would be listed, as Chaplain Scott died in October 1910, and Helen moved to San Diego to live with her daughter and son-in-law.  Among the recognizable names and then-occupations in 1910 Scottsdale: E.O. Brown (merchant) and Jane and children; Walter (farmer) and Helen Smith; Ed and Mary Graves (who, at about that time, opened Graves Guest Ranch); Emma, Richard and Marjorie (artist) Thomas; Charles and Ella Miller; Sarah Coldwell Thomas (postmistress) and her children Grace, Stanley and George; George and Mary Cavalliere (blacksmiths); and Wilford Hayden and Mittie and family (farmers). Scottsdale was a farming community; however, other occupations listed on the forms included house painter, waitress, cook, laborer, machinist, public school teacher, servant, stage route, electrical engi-

neer, minister, missionary and “none,” which usually meant either homemaker or student.

Almost an entire page of the Scottsdale district listed farm laborers recently immigrated from Mexico.  The 1920 U.S. Census Day was January 1, and Scottsdale was listed in precincts 10 and 17. Population of the enumeration district was 1,047. Handwritten enumeration forms show many immigrants from Mexico working as farm laborers and cotton pickers, and the generation population as farmers. Forms listed boarders at the Ingleside Inn and other resorts and guest ranches.  Among the well-remembered Scottsdale residents from the 1920 census forms and their occupations: Jacob (farmer) and Lorene Steiner and their daughters Thelma and Labeula, who lived on McDowell Road; George and Mary Cavalliere and three children (blacksmiths); E.O. and Mary Brown and their three children and nephew George Thomas plus eight boarders; Dr. T. Bishop (doctor of medicine); Robert Chesnutt and family; Walter Donn and Harriett and children; Joseph and Lottie Sidell (school janitress); Ramona Demarbiex and family; Tomas and Cecelia Corral and children.

REMEMBER When Coldwell (farmer), Miguel Dominguez (farmer), Thomas Bishop (horticulturalist), Louis (farmer) and Garnet D. Grosse (artist), Jeffrey Conrad (postmaster), Mort Kimsey (service station) and many more.

Gertrude Webster and Gustav Starck, prominent in the establishment of the Desert Botanical Garden, were listed as living here. Jessie Benton Evans, Marjorie Thomas and Marguerite Wheeler, artists, as well as Garland White, Scottsdale school superintendent, lived here.  In 1930, occupations listed besides farming/ranching included: disabled veteran, grocery store clerk, construction lather, nurseryman, invalid, butler in a private home, bank cashier, superintendent of irrigation project, cotton gin bookkeeper, ice plant engineer, auto mechanic, school bus driver, school lunch cook, stenographer, plumber, cobbler, musician, druggist, zanjero, hotel chauffer, wood peddler, tea room waiter and pool hall manager.  The 1940 U.S. Census is the last we have access to, due to privacy laws. Its data is fascinating as well as heartbreaking.

Census Day was April 1, Scottsdale was in Enumeration District ED7-133 and the area population was estimated at 1,890.

homemakers.  Looking at more recent population figures for Scottsdale, there were 2,032 residents in 1950 on one-half square mile; 10,026 in 1960 on 4.9 square miles; 67,823 in 1970 on 62.20 square miles; and 88,622 in 1980 on 88.60 square miles.

The population was 217,365 in 2010; the 2020 estimate, pending confirmation by the census, is about 255,000 residents.

Happy U.S. Census Day; be sure to be counted! 

ADVICE fromWeiss APRIL 2020 Business Horoscopes

By Weiss Kelly, PMAFA Professional Member of the American Federation of Astrologers

ARIES 3/21-4/20 This month is not a rehearsal. You’ll have to compromise a bit. Expect financial losses the first two weeks, but the last two weeks are favorable. The new moon on April 23 is the time to start fresh in how you arrange your work schedule and goals.

Personal power days: April 20, April 21, April 22 TAURUS 4/21-5/20 Of all of the signs, Taurus took the hardest financial hit in March—stock market, investment, decreased hours, etc. Your personal beliefs and sense of security have been altered—and you’re not alone. The give-and-take rollercoaster continues until April 19. The sun in your sign motivates you to explore work options. Circle the weeks of April 6 and April 30.

Personal power days: April 23, April 24 GEMINI 5/21-6/20 The art of communication is your forte. Unfortunately, you may find it hard to be communicative because the sales, marketing, travel and hospitality industries are threatened. However, there are rapid advancements in technology. Other opportunities should not be overlooked this month, whether they’re full- or part-time positions. Underline April 7 to April 30.

Personal power days: April 25, April 26, April 27 CANCER 6/21-7/22 This year is one like we’ve never experienced before. We’re going from a 3D to 5D world. April is a month of contrasts, reorganization, reevaluations and restrictions. The United States’ sun sign is cancer and it rules the home and family. That’s where your heart is, along with your work assignments. We create our own happiness. Get busy.

Personal power days: April 28, April 29

LEO 7/23-8/21 A positive attitude and good sense of humor will help you deal with the day-to-day drama—particularly the last half of April. Businesses may see financial help or opportunities opening up early in the month. The industries hit the hardest are entertainment, hospitality, events and creative arts. Keep close tabs on your finances. Do something useful—diet, exercise, Google.

Personal power days: April 3, April 4 VIRGO 8/22-9/23 Virgos always find work to do. You are health savvy and informed. Many of you may be working in a medical-related field.

Get ready to put in hours the week of the 20th. Use good financial judgment around the end of the month, when Wall Street activity or government announcements stir things up—hopefully for the better.

Personal power days: April 5, April 6 LIBRA 9/24-10/23 You are a “people” person and the lack of social interaction this month will have you doing a balancing act. There is a change in the middle of the month.

Your social life is curtailed on April 13.

This unexplained crisis will be a learning experience and will lead to a spiritual awakening.

Personal power days: April 7, April 9 SCORPIO 10/24-11/22 April brings us a preview of the “coming social attractions.” The spotlight will be on finances the second half of the month. Gain control of finances and make your portfolio the top priority before April 23. This virus will take a long time to solve (2020-21). Use this time off to work on yourself.

Personal power days: April 9, April 10 SAGITTARIUS 11/23-12/21 The sun remains in the dynamic sign of Aries until April 20, when a more

42 / SCOTTSDALE AIRPARK NEWS / APRIL 2020

passive energy slows you down. Make adjustments to your personal life by April 11. You allow little limitations. Your health looks good, but your employment is unstable by the end of the month. Curb your spending. Your home is your place of safety. You’ll make changes between April 8 and April 23.

Personal power days: April 11, April 12 CAPRICORN 12/22-1/19 Of all the signs, Capricorns take this crisis seriously. Worrying—one of the things you do best—can be counterproductive this month. You’re well organized, structured in your work ethic, and well prepared to accept the extra responsibility your job will require in the months ahead.

You’ll learn from the children you have at home. Your most productive cycle begins around April 20.

Personal power days: April 13, April 14 AQUARIUS 1/20-2/18 You’re high tech, so you’re comfortable with this 5D world. That’s why this “fight city hall” attitude can see you through the coming months. There are no travel restrictions this month, if you are surfing the net. Your friends this month are your computer and cellphone, although being separated from your friends and coworkers is problematic. Being confined to your home April 1 to April 30 requires you to think outside the box. A financial surprise awaits you.

Personal power days: April 15, April 16 PISCES 2/19-3/20 Your sign leans toward the healing arts, medicine, services and supply equipment. Bless all of you who are putting in hard hours, taking risks or being confined. Neptune in your sign— fear or faith—could bring out the worst or best. Be ready to make some smart financial moves.

Personal power days: April 18, April 19 
