"TEAM DODGE"
Go Beyond- Lead, Live, & Leave Well.
Building places, experiences, and relationships that help families thrive - at home, at work, at play and beyond.
The Founders Story
Christian has been an owner-operator since he was 19. He understands the weight that professional success can carry and the strain it places on personal life, marriage, and family. He has lived both sides of the equation—achieving financial milestones while failing to be fully present as a husband, father, and friend. He has been successful by conventional standards, and yet deeply unfulfilled.
Through faith, intentionality, and disciplined effort, Christian changed course and rebuilt his life from the inside out. Today, he leads a thriving marriage, a growing family, and a life aligned across work, home, and adventure. That transformation shapes how he approaches leadership, development, and stewardship in every endeavor.
DEVCO exists to strengthen relationships while supporting both professional performance and personal well-being. The focus is not escaping the pressures of life, but intentionally designing environments and experiences that elevate how families live, work, and play together.
Beyond the Stay (Philosophy)
At the core of this work is a simple conviction: life is meant to be lived fully.
Beyond the Stay™ is not a slogan—it is a commitment to exploration, growth, and intentional living. Travel, adventure, and shared experiences are not escapes from responsibility, but pathways to deeper perspective, creativity, and connection. When work and life are aligned, excellence becomes sustainable and meaningful.
This belief informs how we build, how we lead, and how we invite others into a larger journey—one that expands what is possible without sacrificing what matters most.
“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play… He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does.”
— James A. Michener
Who We Serve
Our work serves families who carry responsibility, pressure, and high standards—those who are building businesses, leading teams, stewarding capital, and shaping culture. We create spaces and systems where success is shared, values are aligned, and legacy is built intentionally. This journey is grounded in faith, stewardship, discipline, and meaningful transformation. Strategic relationships and shared values matter; when alignment exists, connection follows naturally.
Experience & Leadership
With more than 30 years of experience across real estate, business ownership, and personal and professional development, Christian remains committed to learning, mentorship, and high-performance growth. He openly shares his transformation in the hope of helping others become better leaders, better spouses, and better humans—not just individually, but as families. Alongside his wife, Sydney, the vision is a life well lived—meaningful work, adventure, travel, time outdoors, good food, music, and deep relationships. Together, they are founders and operators of the ZERO to 100+ Vision Plan, a growing network of impact-driven, lifestyle-focused properties designed to improve how families live, connect, and thrive.
Family, Faith and Foundation
Alongside his wife, Sydney, Christian leads first at home. Their marriage and growing family are rooted in faith in Jesus Christ and a shared commitment to live intentionally, serve others, and steward what has been entrusted to them. They believe real strength is built together—through prayer, discipline, hospitality, and a willingness to grow side by side. They are called to love God and love their neighbor. Hospitality and service are not strategies, but core convictions. Everything they build—relationships, partnerships, and platforms—is pursued with the belief that it is worth slowing down to know people well, to serve with excellence, and to contribute to the betterment of society. Together, they are founders and operators of the ZERO to 100+ Vision Plan—a long-term effort to design-build, operate and elevate a network of high value places that provide experiences, and relationships that help families live, work, and play well together. It's mulit-generational impact.
