About the host
Hosted by John and Liz
Me and my wife Liz are from this area although we both have spent time in other parts of the world; we found ourselves coming back to this area. I am a current member of the Army Reserves and have been serving in the military for over 35 years with plans to retire. I am currently employed with West Virginia University Army ROTC and enjoy spending time with friends and family. My wife, Elizabeth (Liz) has been in healthcare for over 20 years and is currently a nurse at a long-term healthcare facility. We enjoy hosting because we get a chance to meet many different people and create a great space and make the most enjoyable experience for them.
