Great! Based on the content you’ve provided, here’s a polished and on-brand About Us page for Tamarindo Guide:
Who We Are
Tamarindo Guide is a local business directory built for the Tamarindo, Costa Rica community.
It was started by Ashton Brown, a long-time local originally from Austin, Texas. After living in Tamarindo for over nine years—across different neighborhoods both in and around town—Ashton saw firsthand the ups and downs of settling into life here. From figuring out where to find reliable services to discovering local favorites, the process wasn’t always easy.
Today, Ashton runs Tamarindo Guide with help from a small team of local contributors who share his passion for making life in Tamarindo just a little more connected.
