About Nicole
Nicole grew up at the Ranch – literally. Born just a few weeks before Canyon Ranch first opened its doors, she spent a lot of time on property with her grandparents, Enid and Mel. After graduating from Arizona State University with a degree in Economics, Nicole ventured to Los Angeles to attend law school 
at UCLA. While living and working as an attorney in LA, she met her husband, Ken Morris, who also grew up in Tucson. Nicole and Ken returned to Tucson in 2008 to officially join the Canyon Ranch family.
About Ken
Ken was raised in Tucson and coincidentally worked at the Ranch in high school as a Men’s Locker Room Attendant. Ken graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a dual major in Finance and Accounting. After college, Ken worked for Deloitte and Touche as a Public Accountant, on Wall Street in Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities and as a Financial Advisor at Merrill Lynch. Ken is currently a Certified Financial Planner and is looking forward to working with his wife Nicole in the Zuckerman family business.

I’ve been told countless times that my mom used to carry me around in a wicker baby basket when Canyon Ranch firs
t opened in late 1979. Of course, I don’t remember this, but over the years I have run into many longtime guests and employees who all seem to recall me in that basket.
Many people are shocked when they realize that enough time has passed for me to graduate from college with a business degree in Economics, complete law school, spend a few long years practicing law in Los Angeles, and get married (to Kenny, who, unbeknownst to me, worked in the Men’s Locker Room ten years ago when I was working in the Human Resources department).
Having spent the first 18 years of my life in Tucson I thought I might never move back. L.A.’s vibrant city lifestyle was simply more enticing for a newlywed couple still in their 20s.
But this past April, the phone rang in my 20th floor office, and it was Kenny on the other end. He was in Tucson and had just had lunch with my grandparents. Something had hit him: If we wanted to join the Canyon Ranch family, we should do it sooner rather than later. At first I was stunned – Kenny and I had discussed the possibility of returning to Tucson to work with the Ranch, but only after spending at least a few more years in L.A. Yet after just a few minutes discussing the possibilities with Kenny, I joined in his excitement. Within three months, we had sold our condo in L.A., quit our jobs, packed up our cat, Periwinkle, and headed back to Tucson.
So here we are. It’s nostalgic and a little strange driving past my old high school and the Einstein’s Bagels hangout. But it’s great to be home, closer to both our families. In addition to Tucson, we will be spending time at the properties in Lenox, Las Vegas and Canyon Ranch Miami Beach.
Next time you’re at the Ranch, track us down, say hello. I’d like to think I’ve come along way since that baby basket ...To Your Good Health!Nicole Zuckerman
