Alan moved down to St. Pete from New Jersey at the beginning of 2007. He is our lead delivery person and has been part of the Treehouse Gallery's warehouse team since April. He's the person we turn to when it comes to fixing all the little (or big) accidents that happen to furniture during shipping. If you have a problem with a sticky door, he is the man to see.

Bob Regli |

|
|
Co-owner Bob Regli grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and graduated from UC Berkeley and Boalt School of Law. He was a criminal lawyer in Berkeley for five years, and then managed an acting school and theatre group. He then spent 20 years in Kona, Hawaii running a coffee farm and processing company before moving to Florida in 2001. He spent 1998 in Florence, Italy, studying art and Italian culture and tries to return at least once every year. At Treehouse Gallery he does most of the buying, making several trips each year to industry shows in places like High Point, North Carolina, and a couple of times a year he makes a buying trip to Mexico. His favorite part of his job is choosing the art prints. Very much a Libra, he has trouble making up his mind. He has lived in the Pink Streets in St Pete since 2002.

Marc Georgian |
|
|
|
Co-owner Marc Georgian got the idea for Treehouse Gallery after doing a friend a favor and working a weekend in 2000 in a rustic furniture store in Sacramento, California. He had lived in Tampa, working as a tennis professional, and thought that this kind of store would be popular here. The rest is history. Marc was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay area, and spent most of his post-college life traveling the world playing professional tennis, and living in Kona, Hawaii where he was director of tennis at the largest tennis center in the state of Hawaii. After moving to Tampa, he coached several touring professionals on the WTA and ATP tour and continues to play national tournaments. He and Jill live in Odessa, just north of Tampa, about a mile from the original Treehouse Gallery store.
