KELLY SCHMIDTEighteen years ago I was lured away from my small town in Nebraska to work as an optician in the Twin Cities. Needless to say I never looked back, and my affection for optics took hold. From getting to know our clients so I can help them find the perfect pair of glasses, to merchandising the store; I have a passion for what I do. My daughter is my very favorite. Thanks to her I smell like chlorine – the life of a swim mom.
