Over the last year I have become more involved in the community in which I live in, and honestly, I never before this time, understood what all the hype was about.. Every business person I spoke to said to get involved but never really explained why it was so important.. So I continued to dig into the "why" and through several strange coincidences (actually God did it :)), I stumbled upon group after group that actually fit my personality very well.

The first thing I found out through a great friend and Business Partner Matt Ikle is that I needed to learn about what Livingston County had to offer it's current residents and also people looking to move into our County. So he set me up with the right person to talk to and I joined a 9 month class called Leadership Livingston that is sponsered by Cleary College in Howell Mi.  This was the foundation I needed to start to build my awareness of the Community in which I live. One Friday a month from 8am to 5pm is how it was laid out with everything I needed to know about Livingston County.

I made many friends from Police Seargents to the local Pastor of Crossroads Church of God Mike Harris. This upbeat church is located in Howell Mi.  

Thanks to the class of 2008 for changing my life!
