“ I always said I'd retire at the beach; I never knew I'd be so lucky as to start my career here right out of college.

And I love that it's an easy commute to a number of cool major cities! Delaware packs a lot of punch into a small package. ”Jamie Hudson Former college recruit. Now DE lifer!
“ I love the way the shore lifestyle can transform someone from a "Battle-Hardened", corporatized tough-guy to a fun-loving, deep-breath taking, and enjoyable person who takes pride in calling everyone they meet by their first name! The Ocean has that affect on people! ”Dan Kauffman Army Vet from Northern Virginia
