MaryAnn Lieb (Ortiz) is a true partner to Bobby Lieb. They have been married since 1986, meeting when she was a DJ at The Jockey Club, the nightclub owned by Bobby and his father, Herb Lieb.
MaryAnn moved to Phoenix in 1980 and graduated from ASU with a marketing and advertising degree. She began selling advertising for KOY radio, working with Bill Heywood and Tim Hattrick. Radio sales transitioned easily to print sales and promotional campaigns, and in 1989, MaryAnn became one of the founders of family magazine, Raising Arizona Kids. The magazine (print and online) became the go-to guide for raising families in Arizona. After 25 years with the magazine, she took her marketing and public relations experience to Bumkins, an international baby products company based in Phoenix. Never one to sit idle, at the beginning of the pandemic, she began studying and received her real estate license, joining Bobby in the industry. MaryAnn has developed her own niche and specializes in defining buyers’ needs and finding their perfect home. Her expertise in advertising and marketing has also become an invaluable asset for Bobby, enhancing his promotional campaigns and personal branding.
Outside of work, MaryAnn has been involved in youth mentoring for 17 years. As a member of the organization, New Pathways for Youth, previously Phoenix Youth at Risk, she has guided four (now adult) children through elementary, high school, and college, and continues to support their career paths. MaryAnn has received incredible guidance throughout her life and attributes her successes to her coaches, teachers, and Mike Horne, an advertising entrepreneur, who was her professional mentor. She believes sharing time with youth – sharing passions, sharing losses and wins, and setting goals – allows a mentee an honest personal and reciprocal relationship. Watching one’s mentee succeed and reach personal and professional aspirations is a genuine win for the mentor.
MaryAnn and Bobby have two adult children, Juliann Lieb, and Sean Lieb, along with Jesse Milleson, who joined their family in 2009, during a mentorship. They also have two fur babies rescued from BoxerLuv, Benny, and Shayna. In their free time, MaryAnn and Bobby enjoy hiking, exercising, and spending time with family, friends, and each other.
