Minnesota weather permitting, my husband and I do a lot of community gardening, as well as cooking and preserving what we grow. I also love to travel around the U.S. and internationally, having most recently visited Iceland.
What makes Best & Flanagan a great place to work is also what makes us a valued partner to our clients. I’m lucky to have colleagues that are not only smart, insightful and dependable, but also fun to spend time with.
