Tucson Business Radio – Ep3 – Weeding Out Business

September 21, 2018 by Mark Bishop

Josh Grubaugh is a Tucson native with 12 years of experience in the agriculture industry. His passion for the game of golf and the desire to spend as much time as possible on the course led to the start of his career. In 2006, Josh began working at Oro Valley Country Club. There, he acquired the basics of landscape and turf management. He also earned his Arizona Pesticide Applicator license. He quickly realized that not only did he have a knack for keeping vegetation alive in Arizona heat, he was also really loving the work that went into it!

Just a year into this career path, Josh took full advantage of an opportunity to help build the Golf Club at Dove Mountain, former home of the PGA Tour’s WGC Accenture Match-Play Championship. This amazing 6-year experience gave him the drive to advance on to The Views Golf Club at Oro Valley, where he became the Assistant Golf Course Superintendent. This was a game changer for Josh as his growing passion for and knowledge of turfgrass management further solidified that this was his calling.

With his skills and experience, Josh advanced onward to Tucson Country Club as the Assistant Golf Course Superintendent. Within two years he accepted the position of Golf Course Superintendent at Forty Niner Country Club. Shortly after joining the Forty Niner family, Josh and Brandy married and within a year were proud parents of their first child, Tripp Joshua Grubaugh. Things were getting real!

Josh had a very successful tenure at Forty Niner Country Club. His extensive knowledge and attention to detail allowed him to complete many in-depth landscape and irrigation projects, which improved the operation of the course. Some have even said he brought it back from the dead! Josh will tell you, he is only as good as his team. His hard work, respect for others and willingness to think outside of the box were, and continue to be, essential to his success. In early 2018, Josh knew there was something bigger for him and his growing family. With the support and encouragement of his wife, Brandy, he decided to take his knowledge, skills, and passion in another direction. This led to the launch of Poppy Yard Solutions. The company was named after his daughter, Poppy Louise.

I am the owner and publisher of Tucson Real Producers. Our family moved to Tucson from New Orleans, La over 33 years ago. We love the small town/city Tucson has to offer. My husband John & I have made memories for families by capturing their baby or child’s hand and foot impressions which are bronzed and made to last a lifetime. Patty-cakes of Tucson has been the heartbeat business of our family for many years.

How did I come to be a part of the Realtor community? I started by providing high quality, guaranteed for life closing gifts that agents can be proud to give their clients and that also help to brand their business for life. I continue to offer these amazing gifts to agents that what to be remembered. Do you see a theme? I care about the long term.

So, for Tucson Real Producers, we have created a platform for the top 500 agents in the Tucson area to make connections and build relationships. We do this through a monthly publication that is about Tucson realtors and for them. We also have events for this exclusive group quarterly to celebrate those who have been featured and give agents a chance to talk to other agents who understand their type of business. As we strive to partner the best with the best great agents and quality businesses have an opportunity to work together for the long term.

Alex Mastrangelo

Owner, Designated Broker

Habitation Realty, Inc.

www.habitationrealty.com

alex@habitationrealty

520-465-2539

Alex was born in New York City and moved around the country as he grew up. He finally arrived in Tucson in 1994, never to move again. Alex attended the University of Arizona and graduated in 2000 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications, and a minor in Creative Writing. He attended Real Estate school immediately after graduation and began work at Centra Realty in January 2001. In 2007, he formed Habitation Realty, which was conceived as a boutique firm specializing in the historic and unique homes of Tucson.

As the housing market declined in the following years, Alex expanded into the property management business and began to focus on residential investment property. While other companies struggled to survive, Habitation Realty developed innovative systems for property investment and management and was poised for significant growth once the housing market recovered.

Alex is an avid property investor and has owned nine properties in Tucson, two buildings in Brooklyn, New York, and one historic miner’s shack in Bisbee, Arizona. He is fascinated with the historical aspect of older homes and has restored several back to their period splendor. While he has experience with all areas of Tucson, Alex especially loves working with the funky old homes in the downtown and central areas of Tucson. He loves to share this intimate knowledge of older homes with his clients, and will often brainstorm with them on potential projects. Disgusted by the shoddy “fix and flip” plague of the last few years, he makes a point to use unconventional techniques and materials to transform neglected properties.

Alex has worked with various investors to transform neighborhood blight into opportunity. He believes that the sustainability of the housing market is largely dependent upon investors who are willing to renovate underappreciated homes and return them to habitability. Alex has extensive contacts in the renovation business and is always happy to pass these resources on to his clients.

In addition to Real Estate, Alex has been collecting antiques since he was seven years old. He has amassed a significant collection of tube radios, vintage televisions, furniture, and various oddities from the past. He also restores and collects vintage cars, with an emphasis on Buicks and Cadillacs from the 50′s through the 70′s. When he is not selling real estate or working on his car collection, Alex enjoys bike riding, traveling, and camping with his son Dashiell in their restored 1957 El Rey trailer.

Anna Marie Blessing, CNC, B.Msc is the founder of Tucson Biofeedback and an Ordained Minister where she facilitates both healing and transformation in people’s lives both locally and around the world through her local and remote clinic.

Anna once suffered from the dreadful conditions of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. Embarking upon a journey to heal herself this journey turned into a Life’s Mission to help others do the same. She has over 10,000 hours of specialty training and is currently finishing her doctorate.

Anna grew up in Mukilteo, WA a quaint city about 20 minutes north of Seattle. She was homeschooled, both completing high school and beginning college at 16. Anna always had a hunger for knowledge, growth and to make a difference in her own life and the lives of others. This desire to not only see a different possibility but to live it took her and her husband of 10 years on what is best deemed “the alchemist’s journey”. They opened clinics in Seattle, LA, and New England and always had the entrepreneur spirit.

This journey ultimately led them to plant their roots here in Tucson. “The 1st weekend we came out here, we just knew this was home. And for the 1st time, we were ready to take a break from our adventurous lifestyle and dig our roots into this city”.

People who are seeking out true and lasting change and who have exhausted all healing options are the ones who enter her doors one way and leave forever transformed.
