Home Means Nevada to me for so many reasons. It’s always a place where I find comfort and solace. We travel a lot, we camp a lot, and I just love coming home. My name is Scott Duncith, and I’m the owner of the Home Means Nevada Company, which was formerly Reno Envy. 

I grew up in the Bay Area and attended UNR. My plan was to spend two years in Reno and then go back home. But after two years, I fell in love with the place. 

I love the people and the community. It’s just been awesome. I was talking to a friend. I was giving him my address, so I told him Scott Dunseath, Reno, NV,  And he was like, Reno Envy? 

I’m like, Reno Envy? So it was at that moment that was our aha moment; I realized that the state abbreviation for Nevada Envy sounded like the word Envy. So that’s where it all started. 

What’s great about the downtown Reno community is that people believe in Reno. You see, we have something here. People love this community as much as I do, and people resonate with the idea of having a local brand. 

Downtown Reno has been a challenge, honestly, but we’re a small business, and we’ve been down here since 2008. And honestly, if we can do it, there’s a lot of opportunity out there, and we kind of wanted to prove to people that retail works. 

In 2012, we rebranded ourselves, and we went from Reno Envy and renamed our brand The Home Means Nevada Company, trying to support the local artists in the community by bringing their products in and selling them on their behalf. 

We have all sorts of great stuff. We have coffee from Glory Cloud and local honey and love collaborating with local celebrities. Krysta Palmer is an Olympic athlete, and we recently partnered with her to create an authentic Krysta Palmer battle-born T-shirt. 

My name is Krysta Palmer, Nevada’s Olympic diver. This is a really special company because my roots are in Nevada. I grew up down in Carson City. I genuinely feel this connection between Homeweeds Nevada and my story.
