Maui Meyer found Hood River in 1985 as part of the Windsurfing World Tour. He immediately fell in love with Hood River and returned to live there full time in 1991 after graduating from Cornell University in Ithaca New York, where he studied Food and Beverage Management, Finance, and Real Estate Development. "Post college, Hood River had a strong draw, and it literally came down to making a choice about love of a place over the ability to earn a living" says Meyer. "It was a great decision."
In 1991, Meyer opened the Sixth Street Bistro and a few years later with additional partners, began a construction company, Nisei. Then Copper West, Oregon Growers and Shippers, and most recently, Celilo Restaurant and Bar. "Each of the businesses focus on a small part of a successful small scale economy based on the conservation model," says Meyer. "Copper West isn't about real estate sales as much as it is about being a trusted negotiator and a local "expert-advisor" to the process."
All five companies are currently part of the larger Argonaut Investments portfolio, a partnership of Meyer and his business partner, Ben Stenn. As Principal Broker of Copper West, Meyer brings all his experience to the table. "I've been in the community long enough, and in different capacities to have a detailed relationship with many aspects of Hood Rivers people, and their properties, both Commercial and Residential. I tend to bring value to a transaction as a trusted member of the team, one that knows how to solve local problems before they threaten a deal, and to direct clients to the properties and opportunities that are best for them in this marketplace."
Meyer is a Hood River County Commissioner and is active in local and state politics, focusing on rural resource issues. He currently lives in downtown Hood River with his wife Jan, son Nathaniel and daughters Julia and Emma.
