How did you start at CAC? I grew up here! My best friend (Kasey Martin) and I would tell our parents we were coming in to “workout” which really meant walking around talking, sitting in the hot tub until we decided it was time to order smoothies and grilled cheese sandwiches. Slowly we actually started working out and using the Club for what it was intended and one day, Connie Martin asked me what I thought about leaving at Portland Parks as a swim instructor to come work at Cascade.
