After graduating from Texas A&M University in 2011, Schaefer worked in the commercial real estate industry for several years before deciding to move to Austin and open a franchise.
"I was in search of a more fulfilling and greater challenge in my life, and Massage Heights was a great fit," he explained. "Austin is a very active city where massage and skincare go hand-in-hand with the lifestyles of Austinites. We are excited to begin our franchising careers in one of the most eclectic and populous cities in the country and look forward to enriching the lives of the local residents for many years to come."
