I love the family feel that Dunedin fosters having three wonderful children, two bonus (equally wonderful) children, an amazing husband and many fur babies to love.  I look forward to meeting you and working with you and your businesses to build those connections that will spur ideas and help us to spread the word that Dunedin is the place to be!!
