Faces of the BIA: Gotcha Covered
|
Founded in January of 2024, in Fargo, Gotcha Covered brings a personalized approach to interior window coverings. After many years in healthcare, the founder of Gotcha Covered, DeAnn Von Rueden, was ready for a change.
“I wanted to make a shift outside of the medical field and do something that’s fun, but still make an impact in people’s everyday lives,” she shares. For her, there’s no better way to bring peace into people’s lives than by transforming their homes.
With a background as a paramedic and in nursing for almost three decades, DeAnn brings unique skills to the business, focusing on personal connection, communication and personalized care.
