My husband Chris and I grew up in Philly suburbs, met in DC in 1989, married in 1992 and began our adventure together living in many states (MD, PA, NJ, OH) over the years due to job promotions and takeovers. We moved to the Detroit area in 2015 and immediately felt a connection. We have an equestrian business in NJ and in MI now, and we love the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival, which is how we found Elk Rapids. We are an active family, with 4 kids, 2 of which compete at GLEF, and we love everything about Northern Michigan. I wasn't excited about moving again, but now I couldn't imagine living anywhere else!
