Where I live: My wife, Sarah, and I live in Spring Valley Manor with our two dogs, Abbey and Ally, and a cat named Tyler.
Occupation: I work for Winrock Grass Farm Inc. (www. winrockzoysia. com )
My favorite space: Anywhere outdoors, but especially Spring Valley Lake.
Why ? The lake is a wonderful place for us to entertain our friends. In the summertime, we hang out at the dock and have a big time. We usually have a cookout at the house and then head to the lake to go swimming. There’s pea gravel on the bottom so it’s easy to stand in the water. We also fish for bass, bream and crappie. I love being outdoors and that’s where I work every day. I’m an avid duck and deer hunter and I love to go trout fishing on the White River. When Sarah and I sit in our living room, we feel like we’re in a treehouse. We have two lakes that surround our property and this is a very safe neighborhood that is ideally suited for rearing children.
If I could do one thing to improve this space, I would: Put an addition on the house that will allow a better view of the lake.
