Meet Lauren

Owner, SMS® Cincinnati

Along with owning SMS® Cincy, I am married to Jonathan a local Realtor with Keller Williams Seven Hills Realty. We have three amazing and rambunctious children, Ethan, J.J., and Olivia "Lou Lou". When we aren't at Skyline or Graeter's we enjoy spending time at the Cincinnati Nature Center, Loveland bike trail, a Reds game, or Kings Island. When we are at home we love to cook, do crafts, and spend time outside next to a fire pit making s'mores.

I was born and raised in the Queen City, but my husband is a 4th generation Californian, born in Newport Beach, where he spent most of his youth surfing (which is evident from the stack of surfboards that we have in our garage, lol). We met in Italy where we were both teaching English, and spent a few years traveling the world before having the kids. We knew that they needed an amazing place to grow up and be near family, so we packed up and moved home. We enjoy being close to those we love and feel that Cincy has so many amazing things to offer!
