Hi, I’m Jennifer — a registered nurse of 25+ years who traded hospital halls for hydraulic hoses. I left behind the only career I’d ever known, packed up my life, and followed my heart to the Lake of the Ozarks. Today, I co-own an e-commerce business selling farm implements and construction machinery — a world I knew absolutely nothing about when I started. I’m learning as I go, living with my business (and life) partner, and navigating a new town, new home, and entirely new chapter of life. This blog, Rebuilt From The Lake Up, is where I share the ups, downs, and in-betweens of midlife reinvention. From behind-the-scenes business lessons to lakeside dinners and learning to operate the equipment I now sell — I’m documenting it all. Whether you're starting over, building something new, or just figuring out what’s next — you’re not alone.
