Our Story: A Journey of Serendipity, Family, and Community

Our Story

As Gus Quintana's business partner and wife, Violet, I am delighted to share the remarkable story that goes beyond tax accounting – a tale of serendipity, discovery, and the profound connection between our family and the community of Southern Humboldt. 


A few years ago, Gus and our family embarked on a heartfelt journey across the country, driven by the desire to find a place we could truly call home. Little did we know that this adventure would lead us to the picturesque Shelter Cove, California.

The beauty and charm of Shelter Cove drew us in

In 2021, we bid farewell to Los Angeles and explored various cities around the US, eventually stumbling upon Shelter Cove on our way back to L.A. for the holidays. The decision to visit this tiny town was whimsical, and the irony of leaving Southern California only to find ourselves in Northern California was not lost on us. What was initially intended as a brief stop transformed into a month-long stay in an RV park, immersing ourselves in the enchanting charm of Shelter Cove.


After nine months of backtracking to two of our top three cities, Fort Davis, Texas, and Joshua Tree, California, and many stops in between, Shelter Cove continued to beckon us back. 


Finding a long-term stay on a friend's property amid the captivating woods of Whitethorn, Gus and our family were humbled by the natural beauty and slowed-down pace of life. Through challenges, faith, friendships, and unwavering family support, we eventually purchased our first house in Shelter Cove, solidifying our roots in this beautiful community.

    Gus Quintana's journey is more than a mere relocation; it's a calling. Our family takes our presence in Shelter Cove and Southern Humboldt seriously, believing in empowerment, joy, and self-sustainability for everyone in the community. With Gus bringing over 13 years of experience as a tax professional, he is now opening Quint Tax Services Humboldt to extend his expertise to this wonderful community.


    This story extends beyond the written words; perhaps, in a conversation with Gus, you may uncover more fascinating tidbits. The Quintana family is poised and ready to serve SoHum with unwavering dedication and integrity. Our mission transcends tax services; it's about empowering individuals and nurturing a profound sense of worth within the community. With a commitment to fostering growth and self-sufficiency, Gus Quintana and our family aspire to be catalysts for positive growth in Southern Humboldt.


    As we eagerly anticipate meeting new faces, the Quintana family expresses our heartfelt excitement to serve. Thank you for warmly welcoming us into your community, and we look forward to the incredible journey that lies ahead.


    With Gratitude,
