~ Our Name ~

You might be wondering why Aardvark?

Well, it all started on an early morning drive to Leadville, Colorado. We wanted our company name to be one that made people smile. Life is full of hard decisions and even when change is good it can still be a challenge. Inevitably when people hear our name they smile and it gives us a great way to start a conversation. Also, the aardvark loves to dig and we “dig your stuff”. We enjoy the research, helping our clients lighten their load, and discovering new and great items, while meeting good people along the way.

Actual Aardvarks roam over most of the southern two-thirds of the African continent, avoiding areas that are mainly rocky. A nocturnal feeder, it subsists on ants and termites, which it will dig out of their hills using its sharp claws and powerful legs. It also digs to create burrows in which to live and rear its young. We don’t do any of that.
