STAFF

Elaine Obando

I’m a first-generation American, born in San Francisco, CA, to parents who migrated from the Philippines. As the youngest of eight children, I’ve often been called a 'miracle child' due to a life-threatening experience at age two. Growing up, faith played a central role in our family, and God continues to be a guiding force in my life.

As a young girl, I attended private school for twelve years and was extremely outgoing and competitive in many sports. Shifting gears to adulthood, I have spent many years managing office operations and providing executive-level support.

Over the last thirteen years, I successfully ran a bowling center in Columbus, Ohio, where I oversaw diverse aspects of the business and handled numerous responsibilities.

My personal life is a source of immense joy, especially in raising three incredible adult children. My youngest daughter has further blessed me with a wonderfully talented granddaughter.

I remain very active and full of energy, grateful for each day. I live life to the fullest and never take it for granted. I love the challenge of creating something out of nothing, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing the smiles my creations bring.

Life is truly a gift!

The Next Wave of Workforce, Wellness and Agritourism for All Generations

The commUNITY Grid

What started in March 2020 as an idea to create a couple of destination ranches for families, elders and kids has blossomed into the nationwide commUNITY GRID network movement of startup and existing farms and ranches as well as retreat and wellness centers around the U.S.

We provide a network of tranquil, beautiful nature destinations for stressed out individuals, families and groups where they can step away from everyday life to rest, work, play, learn, heal or live.
