Moving to Corbett in 3rd grade, Kaitlen Aho graduated from Corbett High School in 2000. Heading off to OSU with a full ride scholarship for softball, Kaitlin continued her pitching career. After attending Oregon State Univ. for 3.5 years, she switched over to Careers for Cosmotology school for a year. With a first date at a coffee shop in Troutdale in 2005, Kaitlin and husband Brian married in 2006. Going to work at Salon Ambiance in Gresham from 2007-2009, Kaitlin decided after son Greyson was born in 2008 to "come home." Daughter Paisley was born in 2010 and she is now more busy than ever. Having a real heart for service and people, she says that her ministry is hair. She loves to serve folks by washing, cutting and styling their hair to make them feel better overall. She has served women in shelters as well as other charitable organizations, donating her time and talent, giving them a whole new outlook on life. Currently Kaitlen is reading the book "Kitchen Table Counseling" because she often listens to people share on a deep level and wants to be an encouragement for them. She is quick to point out that what a client shares with her never leaves the room. She also says with a smile that she has traded eggs, beef, and even house cleaning services for haircuts. When Brian and Kaitlin married, they lived in the original 600 sq. ft. home on the property. Realizing they wanted a bit more space for a family, they literally bulldozed the older home into a pile and burned it. Now they are living in a 2880 sq. ft. home that Brian and Kaitlin dreamed about and designed themselves. Brian has been a contractor for many years and built the home! Kaitlin says she loves the fact their home is a reflection of her husband's hard work and abilities. Since both Kaitlin and Brian were raised in Corbett, they have plans to do the same for their kids. She says it is the people that make this such an ideal community to raise a family.
