General Discussion / Let's Get This Ball Rolling! (...
Last post by aimee - July 08, 2024, 11:46:16 AMHey, All! I thought we could get this ball rolling with a little bit of an intro thread!
I'm Aimée, I handle the website (front and back end), the forum, social media, and marketing for Hoosier Cruiser RV. I grew up camping in anything from Class A's to Popups as my dad was an RV salesman for a large RV dealership in Indiana. I really love the camping community, and I'm glad to be back in it in whatever capacity I can be.
I own a custom software company (ElixWare) and it gives me a lot of freedom to be a digital nomad. I try to take advantage of that however I can. I have four grown children and a 7 yr old that keep me on my toes, but I'm usually available here or you can reach me in a couple of ways:
aimee@elixware.com or if I don't respond right away, try my daughter/project manager, chloe@elixware.com
We currently live in Kentucky right at the edge of the Red River Gorge and we love taking advantage of that weekly or even multiple times weekly!
What about you?
