About the host
Hosted by Rick Goldsworthy
Instructional designer. Behavior change researcher. Father of 3. Teacher. Soccer coach. Hoosier. I'm interested in why people do the things they do, what we can do to change those things so that folks live happier and healthier lives, and how technology can help. Plus, well, I love Gulf Shores!
My wife's family have traveled to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama for decades. I became a tag along in the late 1990s, so a Gulf Shores guy by marriage. One thing led to another and we ended up a several large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf.
Why this one? Oh come on! Its so cute! And its just like home. Check out the welcome sign and the master bath: Relax!
Sometimes you want to be on the beach, but in a home that feels like, well, home! Blue Heron is just that. In fact, it has been owner-occupied until we bought it midsummer 2019. It has all the touches of home. Though perhaps a little more organized than mine--I blame the kids...
Blue Heron is uber-cute, has lots and lots of beach, is secluded, and just a couple doors down from our Dancing Dolphin, another home that is well, a home away from home!
