Jeff
Turner, President and Founder of atEase
Property Management, first came to Nantucket in 1968 at
the age of 6 months on his parents’ sailboat.
Born and raised in Marblehead, Massachusetts, he has always
had an attachment to the ocean and Nantucket, especially
after his parents purchased a summer home on the Island
in 1987. |

After spending summers landscaping, painting and building custom
furniture for Furniture-N-Things on Nantucket,
Jeff headed to college to study aviation at Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida
and Prescott, Arizona. Immediately after graduation, he learned
to build homes the corporate way for Pulte
Homes, one of the largest home builders in the
world, in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 1993, with a degree
in Aeronautical Engineering, he returned to the Island to work
for Colgan
Air and to build custom homes for Jeff Toner, the
former owner of Furniture-N-Things.

Not soon after his return did he pursue a rare opportunity to
work on Wall Street as an Equity Trader for Oppenheimer
& Co. After nearly seven years of success in
a career of high financial stakes, Jeff decided to call Nantucket
his home. Since 1999, Jeff has worked in real estate for Hamilton
Heard, Jr. and has been the Project Manager for Amos
Construction, owned by the late Dan Ropitzky. |
In his spare time, Jeff is a volunteer Race Organizer for
The
Opera House Cup Regatta and Nantucket
Community Sailing. He is the father of two
Nantucket Natives, Alden and Jackson and husband to Cary,
a former Island restaurant owner and resident since 1980. |

The Turner
family lives in a historic home they saved from
demolition. It was moved in pieces from Quaise to
Miacomet in 2001, and restored with patience and
appreciation. |
