The Heart of Rising Circle Ranch: Meet Vernon DeAguero


Tara Pyke

This month, we’re thrilled to shine the spotlight on Vernon DeAguero, from our maintenance team at Rising Circle Ranch, whose joyful spirit and dedication never go unnoticed. His work and dedication reach much farther than maintenance. You can say he maintains the hearts of everyone on the ranch! Everyone loves Vernon—not just for his warm, positive energy but for the many ways he goes above and beyond to create memorable experiences.

Many of you know Vernon as the friendly face behind our Ridge Top Rally, where he leads the weekly cohort adventure. Driving the Polaris, he ensures that every guest, especially those who may find the full hike challenging, can still enjoy the journey safely. Vernon doesn’t just drive—he shares his knowledge of the land, adding depth and meaning to the experience.

But Vernon’s impact doesn’t stop there. That very same day, he returns to perform at the graduation dinner, surprising and delighting our guests. Their reactions are always priceless—genuine excitement and heartfelt appreciation. Beyond his performances, Vernon reads a special poem and leaves each guest with a meaningful gift, creating lasting memories they’ll carry with them long after they leave.

Vernon, thank you for your unwavering dedication, your joyful presence, and

the care you show everyone. Your contributions truly make a difference,

and we’re so grateful to have you as part of our team!
