What we love most about doing business here: We were all born and raised in small towns. The Cave Creek and Sun City areas are welcoming and diverse communities.

When and why did you start your business/employment here: After spending time in Colorado in January 2022, I can’t wait for a warm Arizona winter.
What do we do when we’re not using JDog in Arizona? We fly back and forth between Colorado and still have operations in both states. Both states enjoy outdoor life.
My (Julian) Family: My father and mother, Joseph and Joyce Gornick, from Colorado. Jim Gornick, brother/business partner. Justin Boucher, husband/business partner. And of course, Maverick, the cutest dog ever! But I may be biased!
My interests and hobbies: He loves to enjoy the sunshine and hang out with a 6-pound party Yorkie and JDog’s mascot Maverick instead of a Top Gun pilot!
My guiding philosophy: Live your life intentionally. You only live once, so live an unforgettable life.
My advice to today’s youth: Whatever you do, give 110%.
