Stella

Stella is the kindest soul you will ever meet. She is also the sweetest mom to Italia (in the picture). But don't let that deceive you, she is a sharp businesswoman and works while everyone else in town is sleeping! Don't mind her if you are ever talking to her and she's starts selling something to you. That's her natural habitat.

Stella has been building her reputation in her community for the last few years by being obsessed with customer service. Stella's first venture was Italia Rae, which she started to be able to stay home with her daughter Italia. Stella went to UVU to study nursing and spent a few years in the medical field before going all in on her business Italia Rae. Italia Rae had an exciting uprise, but then eventually succumbed to Covid-19 economic downturns. After Italia Rae, Stella and Mario decided to start a service company to help their neighbors in a time when everyone needed a little hand. Pulirr was born from this desire to help and it has now become a company that serves many in 2 states.

When Stella is not working or busy being a mom or a wife, she's making TikTok's to make people laugh (see TikTok SchizoStale). Mario doesn't laugh at them, but he secretly enjoys them and does find them hilarious.

Mario

Besides his most important calling of being Stella's husband and Italia's dad, Mario is kept busy being Stella's "numbers guy". Mario has a strong accounting background and has worked in accounting for big companies such as Tesla (the super awesome EV manufacturer that people keep talking about).

Eventually, Mario left Tesla after many years to run Pulirr together with his wife Stella. Mario and Stella love running their company together.

Mario LOVES playing the guitar. He owns a 1960's Gibson Les Paul and a custom made Fender Strat that he designed himself. If you ever want to catch his attention, just start talking about guitars. He will literally drop everything and start talking to you. Mario loves Stevie Ray Vaughan and hopes to play like him one day. You can check out Mario's guitar videos on his Instagram (@mario.castellano).

Mario is very supportive of his wife and her crazy ideas and loves playing tag with Italia around the house.

Mr Chopper & Chloe

These 2 are too much...they sleep about 20 hours a day and the other 4 they spend getting ready to sleep. That's it. We love our furry family members.

Mr Chopper is a very loving cat. Sometimes a little too much. He would be friendly even to a burglar breaking in. Chloe is different, but still very loving. She's a talkative street smart cat. She keeps her distance from strangers and takes her a while to warm up (took her 4 weeks to warm up to us when we adopted her!) but after she feels safe, she's a really sweet girl. We love these 2 too much. They have an Instagram! (see @mrchopperandchloe)
