THE BUICH FAMILY BONDING THROUGH ADVERSITY Karen Buich is a long-time Eagle resident, and a force to be reckoned with, whether at home, at her Waters’ Edge Event Center…or on a pickle-ball court. Buich is fiercely protective of her three grown boys. They are at any point her number one priority hence her license plate: mi3sunz. She and Dave Buich, her ex-husband, gave their children the reins to find their own career paths, but they always emphasized learning, growing, and finding a life that would sustain them financially while bringing them joy. They have succeeded on all counts, and though they found their own God-given talents, they also overlap in their ventures. We gathered at eldest son Nik Buich’s striking contemporary home in Renovare, a community he and his father developed and built out from the ground up. Born and raised in the development business, Nik found his niche in both real estate and development. He has an eye for masterfully matching a client with the perfect home, whether it is a custom home or an existing property. Nik’s first taste of success was in sports. He excelled in everything he was involved with, mainly due to his competitive nature. Give him a scoreboard or a leader board and he’ll make sure that he is the winner. Nik made it to the Little League World Series and has a couple of state championships under his belt. It is this spirit that still drives him. At the young age of 30, Nik is a successful businessman. His younger brother Jay Laurent says: “There are people who glean a little piece of information and talk about it endlessly filling in the details that they really don’t know anything about, Nik keeps his mouth shut until he can discuss a topic in depth with all the real facts.” Nik Buich backs that statement:” I’m a man of my word. If I say I will do something, I will, and I’ll give it my all.”
