When Susan moved to the Valley, her intention was to go to nursing school, but she got involved in Small Business America, and has never looked back!
In addition to working with TraVek’s Marketing, Susan also spends a fair amount of time working with their software company, Profit Finder Pro Software. She currently teaches a course for NARI for remodeling contractors across the nation, helping them to set up their business and tracking systems, and showing them ways to keep a pulse on what’s going on in their businesses.
In her spare time, Susan enjoys playing the piano, making jewelry, reading, fishing, paddle boarding, hiking, studying languages, and doing things with friends and family. She is a published author of 4 books, but the one that has sold many hundreds of copies is Squeaky Cheese: The Ultimate Guide to Making Finnish Leipajuusto. She has traveled the world extensively, and loves to learn about new people and cultures. Most of her travels take her back to be with family and friends in Minnesota several times a year, but her next foreign travels will take her to Italy, Finland and Croatia.

It’s hard to image that, after hundreds of remodels in the Phoenix area later, TraVek, Inc. Remodeling was born from such humble beginnings in September of 2001. With our original headquarters housed in the office of our family home, we set out with a passion for improving lives by transforming homes. As a family-owned and veteran-owned company, we’re proud to offer a design-build process that leaves every homeowner feeling relieved that they chose TraVek Remodeling for their home improvement project.
As TraVek, Inc. grew from primarily installing beautiful backyard waterscapes to remodeling kitchens, bathrooms, and entire homes. Today, our TraVek, Inc. headquarters are located in Scottsdale Airpark and serve several areas in the Greater Phoenix Valley, such as Fountain Hills, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Cave Creek, and Carefree.
