“I think there is a lot of opportunity in Arizona. I feel the people here are really kind compared to some of the other states I have been to and I think that’s really good.

“One thing I enjoy, from an experience standpoint, is all the snowbirds that come. There is a large knowledge pool that collects here annually. I feel that provides a great insight to other people from around the country and I think it is something that we should utilize more.” – Zackery
