Stu was born and raised in Celina. Growing up, his father Terry, and neighbors, the Lauxes, in particular built his love for the lake and all the greatness it provides to the community. Stu attended The Ohio State University, and has traveled the country for his job, yet chooses to make Celina his home. Next to his family, the lake makes Celina an incomparable place to live, and Stu wants to be able to share that with his own growing family.
