KimBerly’s family and friends supported her dream of buying a cool retro motel so when she found the Stardust in 2021 it was a perfect match.   They officially took ownership on January 7, 2022.   She was born into an Air Force family and as a result has more than a few states “she’s from” (Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas, Colorado, California and now Idaho).  Prior to being a motelier,  KimBerly taught piano, worked on a cadastral survey team for the BLM, ran recycling operations for Waste Management for the whole of Coachella Valley, assisted in writing contracts for City solid waste services, secured grant funding, oversaw low income housing real estate portfolios in Memphis, consulted in the real estate and short term rental space and while running the motel, she still has a day job teaching people how to acquire multifamily property and grow their real estate portfolios.  She believes in the spirit of collaboration and looks forward to a lifelong relationship supporting the Silver Valley and Wallace ID.

Chris grew up in the Chewelah and Valley areas of Washington and joined the U. S. Marine Corps during his senior year of high school in 1984.  After his time on active duty was complete he settled in Spokane and began working in the portable toilet industry in 2006.  This was only going to be a short term gig for him, but it became a career decision.  After learning the ropes in the industry he saw what was lacking in the local providers he saw an opportunity to take his knowledge and experience to provide better service than what was being offered.  With the help of two business partners, Amerifirst Portalet and Pump Services LLC was born.  Amerifirst then began operating Tam’s Traveling Toilets in 2018.  The business has seen growth every year since beginning operations.  From the start, Chris worked to make Tam’s not just a business in the area, but a member of the community.  He is a past member of Toastmasters International and a Rotarian.  His board experience includes serving on the board of the Spokane Area Council of Square and Folk dancing for seven years, three of those years serving as the president.  Chris was also 50 votes shy of being the vice president of the Washington State Square Dance Federation.
