Both of us hail from humble beginnings and have spent the last 25 years raising our four beautiful children and building our businesses from the ground up. Mark has thrived as a financial consultant, while Stacee has pursued her entrepreneurial spirit with Dragonfly Designs, an art education and entertainment company. Our family loves to travel, see the world, and meet wonderful people on our journeys. When our children were growing up, we spent summers in Spanish-speaking countries, placing them in local schools to learn the language and culture. Our four children are trilingual in English, Mandarin, and Spanish!
Encinitas, a coastal gem known for its natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere, is a thriving community with a rich history and vibrant culture. Our home, Casa Colibri Del Sol, is nestled in a peaceful equestrian valley, offering a serene escape while still being central to all the attractions. When we’re not working, exploring, or enjoying our time at home, our family is passionate about giving back to the community and beyond. We volunteer with organizations that support women and children, and we love to host traveling kids and young adults, sharing our home and experiences with them.
