Brittney and her boyfriend Max own and run Max’s Glass, a glass company established in 2022 in the Mariposa area. They specialize in the supply and installation of windows, glass, doors, mirrors, showers and skylights. Before coming to Mariposa in 2020 Brittney lived in Dos Palos where she graduated high school in 2019. Brittney is super excited to put her energy and time into helping all local businesses, small or large. Brittney enjoys volunteering for different events and being a part of the community in any way she can.

Since moving to this amazing community in 2020, my family and I have been blessed to call Mariposa home. I've always considered myself a bit of a jack of all trades—I co-own the local preschool Where the Wild Things Play with my wife, run Dixon's Fixins food trailer, and have owned and operated a small construction company.

Through each venture, I've come to appreciate the hard work and heart that define this community. What has always stood out to me is how people here show up for one another. The support and kindness we've experienced inspire me daily to give back in any way I can. Whether it's through local projects or simply lending a hand, I'm proud to be a part of this community and to contribute to the growth and spirit of the place that has given us so much.
