Our Story

Do Small Things With Great Love

Doug and Tess Kurz both grew up in Chicago, where they were shaped by Midwestern values of hard work, integrity, and community. Their roots in the city gave them a love for family traditions, neighborhood connections, and the energy of being part of a vibrant community. Over time, their journey brought them to Arnold, where they found the perfect place to raise their family and put down new roots. They’ve embraced the Chesapeake Bay lifestyle, enjoying the balance of natural beauty, small-town charm, and opportunities to stay engaged in their community.

Together, Doug and Tess are proud parents of three wonderful daughters, who keep their days full of activity, laughter, and joy. Whether it’s weekends spent on the water, cheering from the sidelines at local sports events, or enjoying family gatherings with friends and neighbors, family life is always at the center. They value the strong sense of community in Arnold and appreciate the chance to give back, build relationships, and watch their daughters grow up surrounded by people who care. For Doug and Tess, Arnold is not just where they live—it’s where their family thrives, their values are nurtured, and their dreams for the future continue to unfold.
