I have been affected by several types of disasters - riots in London, hurricanes in Cayman,…

My wife and I moved to Fort Collins, Colorado, in October 2008.

Having visited the town on several occasions, we fell in love with the lifestyle that defines Fort Collins: rather small-town hospitality and pace, with most of the city amenities, weather that works for our favorite activities, a host of outdoor options, and relatively affordable…
