Cash handles the long list of small things that keep a property safe and running. Inspections and safety checks. Smoke and CO detectors. The Tesla wall connectors. The smart locks. The lighting at Faye that has to come on at exactly the right moment in October. When something bigger is going on — the kind of thing that needs a real contractor — he's usually the one who notices it first and gets it in front of the right person.
He’s a college student before he’s anything else — working toward an engineering degree, with emergency-medical training behind him, and he works around the properties between classes. Along the way he's picked up what he can from a few seasoned contractors who've been generous with their time. It shows: he has the patience for the small repairs and a good head for safety.
If you need help during a stay, he's the one who shows up. Quietly, on time, with the right tools. He fixes what he can, tells you what he did, and gets out of your way.
When the checklists are closed, he climbs. Rope climbing, at the gym, certification tag zip-tied to his harness. He ties in, dresses the knot, checks it, then checks his partner's.
