Our Team

Meet Kona, our office’s Chief Barkceptionist here at McDonald Homes! Kona joined the team with zero experience in office protocol, but plenty of personality to make up for it. As our head of first impressions, she is always on the lookout for new faces, ready to greet them with a wagging tail, an enthusiastic bark, and the occasional floppy ear for effect. Kona may not have a desk, but she has a natural presence that makes everyone feel like the most important guest in the room. With an expertise in “pawsitive” energy and “pup-lick” relations, she’s a natural when it comes to making everyone feel welcome. When she’s not working hard in the office, Kona loves running around, stealing toys, and relaxing in her favorite sunbeam. Whether you’re here for business or just to give her a belly rub, Kona’s your gal!
