Who We Are

Sue Johnson retired from a career in international development in December 2018. Her first bout with retirement was a complete failure when she accepted another position in January 2019. She has now re-retired and hopes that this time it will stick!

Bob MacDonald was a financial advisor and life insurance specialist for most of his career. More recently, he has been exploring new and different career options with an eye on retiring “one of these days”.

Kathy MacDonald worked in public accounting for over 20 years, specializing in international tax until her retirement in 2021. She un-retired in 2022 to take on consulting work but she does envision retiring again real soon.
