Deano and his family moved to Lake Oconee, from the Atlanta area, in 2012 with a goal of increasing their quality of life. While the lake was obviously a big attraction, what made the decision easy was Lake Oconee Academy. With children in school, education was a factor in making a decision to move to the area. It was a few years after moving here that Deano and his wife Heather, decided to "take the plunge" into business ownership and opening the Freedom Boat Club of Lake Oconee, a relatively new concept of boat ownership. Not having been a "boat guy", the decision and journey into the business has been both interesting and challenging. It has been a great, if unconventional ride, for them and the Boat Club is very well known in the Lake area. They have some interesting plans for the future of the Club as the area continues to grow rapidly and more residents are looking for boat ownership options.

I, myself, am a member of that community. I moved to Reynolds in 2020 and started to hear the incredible stories of its residents. Join me, now, as we take a plunge into some fascinating stories of the many well-lived lives of our community and learn why they were Lured to the Lake.
