A world traveler, the only continent Michelle hasn’t yet visited is Antarctica. She walked the Portuguese Route of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in October 2019.

Michelle and Rob live in a historic home, circa 1922, in the Ardsley Park- Chatham Crescent neighborhood of Savannah with their mountain lion-sized cats Rocky and Ding.
