Meet The Owners
Robyn Benincasa & Jeff Akens
Robyn Benincasa and Jeff Akens are both retired San Diego Firefighters who are thrilled to share their “happy place” with you. When they’re not dreaming about upgrades for your guest experience, they’re on their other favorite mission, helping Survivors of medical or traumatic setbacks live an adventurous dream as part of their recovery through their 501c3 non profit, The Project Athena Foundation (2014 CNN Heroes!).
Between leading and crewing for Project Athena adventures, Robyn and Jeff are on the road inspiring Fortune 1000 companies, associations, and user groups to Adapt Overcome and Win as One through their corporate teambuilding and leadership keynotes, based upon Robyn and her teammates’ experiences in winning what the Discovery Channel calls “The Toughest Races on Earth”, The EcoChallenge and The Raid Gauloises.
Jeff and Robyn’s next life adventure will be to start an animal sanctuary for any and all creatures that need a loving forever home, right across the road from The Sanctuary at Sacred Mesa. The working name for the sanctuary is Valentine Ranch, in honor of the love of their life, a part Chinese Crested hairy hairless rescue mutt who showed them what unconditional love means. They can’t wait to pay that love forward to the next furry, winged, feathered critter that comes their way.
