Meet the Lightkeepers

We’re Rachael and Chris, partners in life and business.

Our careers took us down very different paths, but they always had something in common: helping people through difficult situations. We saw firsthand how overwhelming it can be when aging parents need more support, a loved one passes away, or responsibility for a home suddenly falls to family members. Lightkeeper grew from the belief that no family should have to navigate those moments alone.

Rachael’s background includes forensic psychology, medical social work, and investigative work. She has spent years helping people navigate complex situations with calm, organization, and thoughtful planning. She sees the big picture without losing sight of the details, bringing clarity and perspective when life feels overwhelming.

Although Chris spent his career in the tech industry, he’s always been a builder at heart. He enjoys restoring order, solving practical challenges, and caring for a home with patience and precision. Whether he’s repairing something that’s broken, tending the garden, or helping transform an overwhelming space into one that’s functional again, he believes the smallest details often make the biggest difference.

When we’re not working, you’ll usually find us combing the Oregon coast for agates, sitting on the deck with coffee, or spending time with our family and our cats.

Together, we’ve built Lightkeeper around the kind of service we’d want for our own families: thoughtful, dependable, and deeply personal.
