Marian Cook has called The Lakes home for three years and loves the peaceful beauty of the lakes, wooded surroundings, and beautifully landscaped neighborhoods. For Stroll The Lakes, she interviews local business owners and writes articles that highlight the incredible entrepreneurs who live right here in our community.

Outside of the magazine, Marian and her son own Archstone Workspace, an executive suites and coworking space designed for professionals who need a private or shared environment to work and thrive.

She was inspired to get involved with the magazine through Publisher Allen Ferrell and values the opportunity to connect with fellow residents over a shared passion for business.

Her favorite quote perfectly reflects her heart for community:
“I lift thee, and thee lift me, and we ascend together.” – Quaker proverb
