This dynamic and confident Wisconsin-born entrepreneur founded a successful real estate company and a wedding planning business before joining the design team of ABC's Emmy-winning "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." In 2005 Paige Hemmis founded Tuff Chix, Inc., dedicated to performance work wear for women that is durable and fashionable.

During college Paige Hemmis taught first-aid and CPR to University of California, Santa Barbara students, then became a licensed Emergency Medical Technician. After graduating with Theology and Psychology degrees from UCSB and realizing the medical profession was not for her, Paige Hemmis took an International Sales Manager position taking her to Hong Kong. Imbued with an entrepreneurial spirit, Paige Hemmis pursued substitute teaching while developing contacts in the wedding industry. Paige Hemmis launched Simply Elegant Weddings in 2001 and the natural progression of helping couples led to helping families secure their first homes.

Paige Hemmis considers her role on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" a blessing and feels fortunate to make her living helping others. In between extreme makeovers, Paige Hemmis lends her time and celebrity as a spokesperson for Habitat for Humanity and other charities.
