Pete Kuzmich
Owner/Managing Director
I was born in the Sacramento area and lived throughout California for the first 35 years of my life. I received my higher education at UCSB in sunny Santa Barbara, CA and graduated with honors in 1998 with a bachelor’s degree in cultural anthropology. Upon graduation I worked in the mortgage industry for several years and then transitioned into home repair and general carpentry. For the next 10 years or so I worked in the construction industry. During this time, I met my future wife and we made the decision to move to the Chico area where I continued to work in construction. In 2015 my wife and I decided to move back to Reno and embark on a new career, joining the Right at Home Reno team. My wife and I are proud parents of a beautiful four-year-old daughter, and we welcomed a second daughter to our family in October of last year. I also am proud to serve the senior community of Northern Nevada through my work as President of the Board of Directors for a local charity, The Senior Service Network, which is based out of Carson City and provides one time financial assistance to seniors in need.
I love this work because it gives me an opportunity daily to touch the lives of the seniors that we serve and give their family and loved one’s peace of mind that their family member is well cared for. During my 20s, as I watched my Grandparents age and begin to deal with the normal complications of aging, I saw the stress and hardship that this placed on my parents and their siblings. We used home care for each of my grandparents as the situations became more and more difficult to manage towards the end of their lives and without this support, I truly don’t think that our families could have gotten through it. The work that we do can be very difficult and stressful, but when we get a little card or word of thanks from a family after a job well done it makes all the rough patches worthwhile.
Tricia Starbuck
Operations Manager
Hi, my name is Tricia, but you can call me Trish. I started working for Right at Home in 2010. I can honestly say, Right at Home “found” me. I spent about twelve years as a social worker focusing on child welfare before deciding to take a short time off from my profession. During this time, my sister was the one who called me and asked if I would consider working in the geriatric population. Although not certain, I interviewed with Right at Home and became not only at home with the people in the office but inspired by the work and mission of Right at Home. I started working the next day! I have truly felt a new purpose in helping our families and blessed to be a part of an amazing group of people in our office and caregivers. I enjoy spending time with my whole family; my fiancé and watching my two kids grow up; Noah, 18 a senior in high school and Sierra, 22, a senior in college; are both graduating in 2020! They are the light of my life and looking forward to their next steps in life! I enjoy lazy days at home playing with my Golden Retriever Enzo, watching movies and spending time outdoors. I am a huge cheese-lover and if it were cloudy and overcast every single day, I would be the happiest person on earth!
