Stefan's background is international real estate development. He began his career as an estimator at Moss and Associates in Fort Lauderdale, responsible for winning over $1.2 billion in multifamily, hotel, and commercial projects across Florida. He then joined ZOM Living as Development Manager, overseeing the siting, design, entitlement, construction, and lease-up of over 2,000 apartment units across six properties, including Bezel at Miami Worldcenter, Seazen at Rocky Point in Tampa, and Baldwin Harbor in Orlando.

Stefan holds a Master of Science in Real Estate Development from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he received the Gerald Blakeley Fellowship and cross-registered into courses at Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard Business School, Harvard Law School, and the Harvard Graduate School of Design. His capstone won 2nd Prize in the GSD's 2020 Plimpton-Poorvu Design Competition. He was also one of five participants in the 2020 Urban Land Institute Randall Lewis Healthy Building Mentorship Program. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Construction Management from the University of Florida, a Certificate for Financing and Deploying Clean Energy from Yale, and is a LEED Accredited Professional Building Design + Construction.

Stefan relocated to Lake Atitlán in 2023 and has since acquired and developed multiple properties in the region, including a renovation in San Pedro La Laguna, a 14-key wellness retreat center in Tzununá, and advisory roles for WuWei Village and Nido Atitlán.

Antonio was born and raised in Tzununá and has spent his career building with local materials and local crews at Lake Atitlán. He reads sites and drawings together, catching the gaps between what is drawn and what the ground will support. His early involvement in every project is what keeps our budgets honest and our detailing real.

Prior to working at Atitlán Build, Antonio was the General Manager at Loma de Tzununá, a flagship 28-bed retreat center on Lake Atitlán. He was responsible for all aspects of the business — construction and maintenance, food and beverage, guest experience, and reservations. Before that he owned and operated a small construction business, building five homes in two years. He started his career as a tour guide, which is where he became fluent in English and got to know the pueblos around the lake by heart.
