Behind the scenes in Capitola Village.

Bill Kershaw recently spent the day capturing the story behind KTB's work on behalf of residents and businesses affected by the Christmas morning 2024 explosion and fire, including El Toro Bravo’s path from devastation to reopening. In about a year, the case was resolved, helping clients take an important step forward after a life-changing event.

It was a privilege to reconnect with clients, hear their stories, and capture the strong relationships built along the way.

More to come.
