I'm inclined to be outside as much as possible, enjoying human-powered adventure; especially hiking, cross-country skiing, camping, and kayaking. I live in Boyne City with my wife, Christie, and dog, Ruby.
Steve Foley

My wife, Jennifer, and I enjoy exploring all that Northern Michigan has to offer throughout the seasons, especially when the leaves start to fall in early autumn. Our "four-legged" family consists of dogs Betty and Josephine and our cat, Miss Kitty. When not out exploring, I enjoy golf, softball and spending time with family and friends.
