At 19, Rick DeJesus felt music pulling at his soul—so he followed it, all the way to LA. 🎸
Years later, after touring and writing over 100 songs, he found a new rhythm: raising two daughters with his wife in Queen Creek. 🏡

His story is full of grit, heart, and chasing one's dreams both afar and at home. ❤️ 🎶

Did you know Queen Creek was nearly turned into a dumping ground? 🤯

Instead, a few local legends, Mark Schnepf, Paul Gardner, and Steve Sossamon, fought to protect its future and help build the town we now call home. 🫶 🏡

Their legacy lives on in every trail, park, and open field.

👇 Drop a “thank you” in the comments for the ones who made Queen Creek possible.
