Even though their roots are in West Virginia, they have lived in many places throughout their careers, including Kansas, Oregon, Nebraska, Texas, Illinois, and even India. In early 2014, they decided to purchase a bed and breakfast as a way to ease into retirement. This led them on many searches around the country looking for the perfect place that would fit the lifestyle they were hoping to find. Their search led them to the Davie School Inn. They relocated to Anna from Mundelein, Illinois after purchasing the inn June 2017.
