Now read a bit about us, to help dispel those butterflies. Gary is Australian and had a career in the airline industry (PanAm, Qantas). He set up a corporate travel agency in New York City that he moved to the Gulf Coast in the 1990’s. Zak comes from Finland and worked as an architect after graduating from Ga Tech in Atlanta in the 1980’s. Zak tells more about TuscanHouse: "After long vacations in Tuscany and trips all over Italy, in 1997 Gary and I purchased a property in the small Tuscan village of Chiusure, now rated as having one of the best views in Tuscany by Travel &amp; Leisure (March 2015). We reside here for almost half of each year and formed TuscanHouse.com in 1998 to help friends with villas find people, especially Americans, to rent their Tuscan homes. Now in 2019, Gary and I manage this business from Australia, where we live while escaping the Winter in Tuscany."
