and I thought 'I can't pass this up because it's
something I just love to do.'"
Dustin still has that love and passion
for the business. "What I love about doing
this for a living is that it's something new
every day," he said. "And also I get to pour
in to all the wonderful staff about ethics and
leadership. Our main goal at River Ranch is
to pair exceptional outdoor experiences with
professional customer care and we cannot
provide that if we do not teach and take care
of the staff which we call family."
An essential key to the success of the River
Ranch Resort is that understanding of, and
attention to, the customer. "Our customers
are people who want to escape the rat race of
everyday life and drains," Dustin said. "We see
that they love the people they get to interact
with when they come and are all about having
a great time."
Like many of the people who choose to
work and live in McDonald County, Dustin
and Marlinda believe there is something very
special about the Southwest Missouri region
they call home. "People in McDonald County
are very tight knit and would come help no
matter what," Dustin said. "We love to support
our local schools, provide events where the
community can gather, and add jobs to the
county that I have been apart of my whole
life. Many people have known me since I was
that kid picking up trash and now I am in the
place where I am able to make a different in
their lives when they were there making the
difference in mine."
