Like many natives of the upper midwest, he longed to experience warmer climes and moved to Key Largo Florida. Here he became the Assistant Controller and Systems Analyst for the Sheraton Key Largo Resort.

Here's Jay's favorite spot in Key Largo. Some of his fondest early memories are of dangling his legs in the lake by the family cottage leaving him with a lifelong predilection for wet feet.

After experiencing first hand the devastation from Hurricane Andrew in 1992, Jay rethought living in the midwest and eventually decided to return home via a brief stint in California.
