Moved From: A very small town in the very northeast corner of Iowa.  Elgin, Iowa to be exact. My Profession There: Vice President of Collections/Partner in Outsourcing Firm. Friday Nights There: Bonfires in the backyard with the neighbors.

Why I Moved: To start a new life adventure in a warmer climate. Now I Am: Helping my Husband and Brother with a new venture.  They just purchased Sarasota Wind and Water Adventures, which is an amazing company that rents out all sorts of pleasure water crafts and teaches water skiing. Friday Nights Now: Every other Friday is spent with a new group of friends eating together, laughing, singing and reading the Bible.

First Impressions: Everyone is so nice and they gather you in like family! Biggest Potential Community Mistake:  Making the fire department respond to every fender bender accident/911 call, even if there are no injuries.  It seems like a huge waste of money, not to mention the wear and tear on the vehicles. My Vision: To make others feel as welcomed and included as I have felt since moving here.
