Who We Are
We are Joe, Kayla, and Gordon Clark. We’re just your average local family who have been forced into an alternative lifestyle on the water. We have been living and working in Northern Michigan for the past decade or so. After a year and a half of medical issues in the midst of the Covid Pandemic we were told that our neighborhood was toxic for Joe and possibly even 2 year old Gordon. So we were forced to move out and list our home for sale and start living the mobile life style. After staying in an RV for the early spring we moved forward with our plans to live on the water.
