faces | BALLANTYNE PEOPLE TO KNOW
Meet Our Community's Fascinating Personalities Photos by Ray Sepesy
IN EACH ISSUE, we feature three of the many interesting people who call the Ballantyne area home. Our Q&As; range from retailers, business executives and other professionals to full- time homemakers, former pro athletes, retirees — and everyone else in between. Just like the demographics of the community, our Ballantyne Faces hail from Charlotte, the Carolinas and all over the world. This time, you'll learn about a YMCA executive whose ideal vacation would be to go island hopping on a private boat with his family; a restaurant owner who would like famed chef Mario Batali in his golf foursome and a communications professional at Lance Inc. whose biggest pet peeve is people who don't say "please" and "thank you." So, please meet Kristen Oleson, Steve Bowers and Mike Libretto.
