Skye loves to spend time with her family, and helps out administratively with her husband Mike’s roofing business.
Lora

After working full-time for over 20 years in the Credit/Debit card service industry and with her three children now grown up and more independent, it was time to slow down and enjoy life at a more casual pace. When Lora is not in the office she enjoys her time re-creating recipes, shopping, camping, travelling and spending time with her husband and children.
