Drawn to living in beautiful destinations, Laird worked kitchens, rental counters and delivery routes throughout the U.S. before returning home to North Carolina’s Outer Banks. As investor, banker, rental manager, general contractor and now insurer, there is little about the industry that he doesn’t have hands-on experience with. He recounts his hurricane history like a roster of old uninvited friends, taking their destruction in stride, and leading him to a heartfelt appreciation for the challenges and concerns of vacationing guests and the VRM industry. A self-confessed workshop piddler, Laird is crazy about his daughters Liz and Ede, as well as UNC basketball.

Kim began calling the Outer Banks of North Carolina “home” in 2008 after many, many years of vacationing at the beach. She started her vacation rental career as a vacation planner in Corolla, NC and in 2010 Kim was recruited to become the very first Red Sky team member. Kim leverages her extensive vacation rental business knowledge and her more than 10 years of travel insurance experience to expertly serve and support the many valued Red Sky partnerships along the Mid-Atlantic coast from NJ to SC, the mountains of GA and TN, as well as the gulf coast of TX and FL. Kim enjoys living the beach life with her husband Billy and dogs Bruiser (the favorite) and Bettis.

Born and raised on the Outer Banks, Liz's first memories within the vacation rental industry include sweeping the floors of under-construction vacation homes built by her dad, packing linens and changing air filters in 220 vacation homes every month. Upon graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Liz moved to Aspen, Colorado for “just one ski season.” Five years later, she's thrilled to call Colorado home. Liz enjoys skiing, hiking, mountain biking, camping, traveling, spending time at the beach (especially at home on the Outer Banks) and cheering on her Tar Heels.
