We felt our family building project was going to be a new endeavor and needed a fresh label.

Druk is Tibetan for Dragon (hence all the dragons).

Emilia and I’s first home together is called “Druk Dzong" aka Dragon Fortress.

We also met in a Dragon year according to the Tibetan calendar.

This is not in revolt of our history or some passive-aggressive rejection of our families, but an evolution of the money lenders (Usry) and common persons (Volz) to become leaders in the world to help others, The Druks.

Formal with a flair is the dress code.

Please wear uplifted clothing but don’t be afraid to think outside the box.

You might end up sitting on a cushion.
