My husband and I live in the mountains of NC. We love traveling, spending time outside hiking, gardening, jumping off waterfalls or enjoying a craft beer at one of our local breweries with friends. Our favorite place to visit would be the Outer Banks of NC. Great place to spend time with family and friends and of course excellent fishing. I work at Appalachian State University and my husband owns and operates his company River to Ridge Property Services.
