Jake O Connor grew up in Colorado, enjoying the outdoor lifestyle and building houses as he grew older.\xa0 In his final year at CSU in Fort Collins, Jake suffered a spinal cord injury at a jobsite, but mere months later, he returned and earned his construction management degree.\xa0 He went on to a successful career, even building a "floating casino" in Kansas City, which we talk about in this episode.\xa0\xa0

Eventually he decided to move to Crested Butte, and not only that, he thought he could improve upon the handcycle designs of the time and build something better.\xa0 After all, he could build homes, so how hard could it be to weld a few tubes together to make a bike?\xa0 Hard, obviously- but those were the beginnings of Reactive Adaptations, his handcycle company that now boasts multiple designs and all of them are handbuilt here in Crested Butte.

Crested Butte Real Estate Minute:

Local real estate continues to be extremely active, thanks in part to "Zoom buyers"- those that are now working from home permanently, or at least most of the time.\xa0 That means that someplace like Crested Butte has a lot of appeal versus a city that they no longer need to be tied to.\xa0 Low inventory continues to be a problem, so if you (or someone you know) are considering selling property in Gunnison or Crested Butte, give me (Frank Konsella) a call.\xa0 Stay up to date on real estate news in Crested Butte by signing up for my monthly market updates here.\xa0\xa0
