Our Story: A Legacy of Building and Adventure

Garn Christensen Sr., 1939 - 2024 was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, the youngest of four. Life’s challenges came early; his father, a foundry brick mason,  passed away when he was only eight, leaving his remarkable mother, Latuna - a dedicated LPN nurse to raise the family. Despite hardships, Garn’s determination shone brightly. With the support of the Army ROTC, he became the first in his family to earn a college degree, paving the way for a career that defied expectations. With a spirit of ingenuity and hard work, he became the bedrock of our family’s building legacy.

After serving four years as an officer, Garn went on to work with industry pioneers like IBM and AT&T. Yet, his creative spirit couldn’t be contained. By the time he reached 30, he launched an air pollution measuring device, finance data card reading system, outdoor equipment product, and a toy. Over the next decade, he built a thriving land development, construction, and savings and loan finance enterprise building over 100 low income homes for returning Vietnam Veterans. 

In his 40s, Garn embarked on a bold new chapter, scaling back his economic empire to chase a radical dream: the creation of a new-age 1960-70s hippie type community in the mountain wilderness. Although that grand vision never fully materialized, it sparked a movement. His mountain refuge inspired a generation of builders, engineers, public service pioneers, and creative innovators. Today, many of the cabins and mountain sites he and friends and family built over 50+ years are cherished by those who spent time with him pounding nails, driving screws, or enjoying a rocking chair in the woods.
