"Buck Schimpf met Darlene Brown in 2002 when he hired her to market and sell the first downtown Chattanooga condominium development, Lovemanโs on Market. Theyโre still partnering on the development and sale of Cameron Harbor, but aside from that, they now intentionally structure their relationship to be less work-centric. While the demands of her job are constant, Darlene says she does her best to avoid work talk at home completely.
Despite nonstop work schedules, the two take time every morning to sit together in a period of spiritual devotion. โIn town or not, together or not, we share a devotional time,โ Buck explains. The rest of their time together is taken when they can find it. A favorite place to relax together is on their back deck with a sweeping view on Missionary Ridge.
Darleneโs 24/7 availability is what makes her a successful real estate agent, and Buck supports and encourages her career. Darlene shares, โI couldnโt do half of what I do at work without Buck doing what he does for the everyday life part of our balance.โ
Somehow, the pair finds time to volunteer and give back to their community. Darlene has spearheaded an effort for her company to โadoptโ Clifton Hills Elementary School. Buck and Darlene have personally painted, cleaned, landscaped, and prepared Christmas presents for more than 600 students and staff, โand even provided Santa Claus to deliver gifts to students,โ Buck winks. Darlene commends Buckโs willingness to jump in on some of her causes, like picking up trash on Main Street and helping with Clifton Hills. โThere may be a lot of eye rolling, but he is usually game for most anything,โ she laughs.
The two agree a key component of their marital success is nurturing a sense of humor and laughing together. โI donโt believe I have ever met anyone who loves the Tennessee Vols more than Buck. Every June he says, โThis is our year for the national championship.โ With optimism like that, it makes it easier to get through the occasional tough issues in a marriage,โ Darlene smiles."
