BUILT ON SERVICE, FORGED IN PURPOSE
V.I.C.S. Ranch was born from two lifetimes of service — Tori's 8 years in the Armed Forces and Steve's Marine Corps career — combined with a shared passion for creativity and community.
TORI'S JOURNEY
Born and raised in Lake Tahoe, Tori is the daughter of a racecar driver and Korean War veteran. She carries that legacy of grit in everything she does.
After 8 years in the Armed Forces — earning Soldier of the Year in 2000 — Tori went on to serve in law enforcement and fire paramedics before founding her own construction company.
An award-winning journalist, Tori founded MAGA One Radio in 2016. Every chapter of her life reflects a commitment to service, truth, and community.
STEVE'S SERVICE
A Wisconsin native, Steve served as a Marine Corps Crash Rescue Specialist and deployed in Desert Storm. His dedication to protecting others never wavered.
After his military service, Steve became a wildland firefighter and owned the Pioneer Saloon before dedicating 30+ years to the federal government, retiring April 2026.
Steve and Tori share their home and mission with 7 Cubs in military or law enforcement, 10 Grandcubs — with an 11th due July 2026 — and four beloved fur babies.
