1) Where are you from? How did you end up here (or why did you stay)? I'm from Lake Linden, Michigan. It's a small town just north of Houghton (not to be confused with Houghton Lake!). College brought me all the way down here (it's an eight hour drive), and I'm planning on staying because I've fallen in love with Grand Rapids.

1) Where are you from? How did you end up here (or why did you stay)? I grew up in Utica, Michigan, a small suburb of Detroit, and lived on the east side most of my life.
