Courtney started her career as a broadcaster before returning to university to complete her doctorate. Courtney teaches marketing at Southeastern Oklahoma State University, designs cabins inside and out, and occasionally pops in at the Food Network to compete on baking championships! Aaron earned a degree in marketing and finance at Austin College before playing two seasons in the NFL.
After an injury sidelined him he opened Tin Star Furniture in Denison, Texas. Along with furniture he began Kernek Construction and also built residential properties. After many years of providing furniture for cabins in the Hochatown area, the two decided it was time to build some cabins of their own. In 2016, Courtney and Aaron began their Hochatown adventure purchasing the lot where they would build their dream cabin- the Rust Bucket.
At the time, neither had plans of starting a property management company, but they found so much enjoyment and passion in renting their own vacation properties that the business literally found them!
