Kristin Leitheuser

The contractor and Davina’s partner are set to appear in Small Town Potential. Together, the two aim to help homeowners make houses their very own. Kristin grew up in the valley in Pleasant Valley. While conversing with HGTV, the couple opened up about how they met, and Kristin said that after college, she played on a New York City recreational basketball team. One day after a game, they went to a bar where someone knew the bartender, who happened to be Davina.

During the conversation, the Small Town Potential cast member stated that she worked in hospitality for over 20 years before becoming a real estate agent and earning a business degree in college.

She added:

"I loved woodworking and knew I wanted to follow in my contractor dad’s footsteps after working with him during my college summers."

Kristin’s father has been a carpenter for over 40 years and will play a major role in the upcoming renovation show.
