I have had a lifelong love affair with Lake Erie.

Growing up in Erie, Pennsylvania, I spent my childhood exploring the beautiful beaches of Presque State Park— learning to swim, enjoying family picnics, and taking walks along the lighthouse trail. It's not a bit surprising that I ended up settling in Cleveland, in a neighborhood where I am able to experience the Lake every day— with its ever changing moods and skylines, colorful sailing races, imposing freighters, and a nearby beach sprinkled with beautiful sea glass.
