We have lived in greater Kalamazoo County since 2006, and currently live on Indian Lake in Vicksburg. We have three daughters, a golden doodle, and black cat. We love walking, water, snow skiing, working out, and spending time with family.

We look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely,
Rick and Kristin Burmeister
