Jay Harrington

I'm a former lawyer-turned-entrepreneur and writer who loves living in Northern Michigan. I own a marketing agency, blog about life Up North, and will be launching a new Michigan-inspired e-commerce brand in spring 2017. Most important of all, I'm the father of three young girls who my wife and I are raising in Traverse City. A perfect day is one spent in the great outdoors, with family, regardless of season, exploring everything that Michigan has to offer.
