Elaine finds inspiration in the outdoors. Whether roaming the Northern Michigan landscape, skiing with her family, running or hiking a favorite trail, or just enjoying the view from her favorite beach, she is thankful for all the goodness that comes from fresh air and water. Elaine aims to enhance and protect that goodness in partnership with Upland.
