Steve Vogel
OwnerSteve grew up in Colorado Springs. His Father was a career Air Force Officer and Fighter Pilot. Steve’s two sisters and Mother also live here in Colorado Springs. After graduating Air Academy High School, Steve earned a BA Degree from the University of Colorado in Boulder.
After college, Steve spent 30 years in business. Working in logistics, supply chain and information technology, leading teams in business development, general management, operations, and sales. In recent years, some of Steve’s immediate family and close friends experienced health related issues that became life changing events. Families had to change the way they lived to care for their loved ones and accommodate the effected family member and provide the necessary care and resources.
Steve saw this as a calling. Helping people and families care for loved ones, relieve stress, and improve their quality of life by providing a higher standard of companion and health care services in their home. Families need empathy and support to successfully manage and cope through these life altering events. Steve feels humbled and privileged to provide these services to the greater Colorado Springs communities.
