Jay's Bio
 

Jay is a native of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Graduating from the University of Wisconsin, Stout, he majored in Hotel & Restaurant Management. Like many folks from cold climates he wanted to live in the tropics and moved to Key Largo, Florida where he worked as Assistant Controller for the Sheraton resort. He returned north in 1993, eventually opening Jay Gilbertson Salon in Minneapolis. He now lives on 80 beautiful, organic acres in Northwest Wisconsin where he grows much of his own food, recycles and enjoys life. He and his partner are also introducing the first pumpkin seed oil to be produced in the US, check it out at http://www.hayriver.net

What's the deal about water? When Jay disappears it's often to go fiddle in one of 3 streams on his property. Certainly, they couldn't be left to find their own way...

Family
Jay remains close to his mom, dad, brother and sister.

Well, it ended right there but alas, no pot of gold. Just good enough to see such beauty.
