Get to Know Nancy

Nancy thoroughly enjoys gardening, online shopping, boating on the gulf waters of Sarasota, and spending time with her husband and daughter. Having grown up on an island off the coast of Maine, Nancy loves the rocky coast and frigid waters of the northeast coastline.  She also owns two stores in Maine with her mother and sister and has become an integral part of the community there! Her ultimate goal is to enjoy the warm winters in Sarasota and make her way back to Mount Desert Island in the summers.
