About the host
Hosted by George Rathgeber
Originally from Chicago, Illinois, I ditched the cold for the beach.....best move I've ever made ! Living on a beach has been my dream since I was a little guy and to actually achieve it is....well.....Livin the dream !
Over the years I've met peeps from all over the world and have made many long lasting friendships with others who also love the island lifestyle we have here.
I am joined here by my wife, Cindy and sometimes by my daughter, Jessica, although right now Jessica is finishing up her studies in the states to become a speech language pathologist. That's her up there in the photo with my wife and me.
