I have been on the North Shore since 2006. I moved over here from Jacksonville, Florida. I did grow up in Metairie. I had family moving over here as well and I wanted to join them. I am a Sales Director for my company in the payroll and HR industry. I would say one of my favorite things on the North Shore is enjoying the lake and the river. I love attending Church of the King, and their devotion to serving the community. I also enjoy driving my jeep along the lakefront and kayaking or boating the river.
