Julie moved from Defiance, Ohio to Kennebunk with her family in 4th grade and never had a desire to leave. After meeting Michael a month before graduation from Kennebunk High, her college plans changed. They were married a year later and now have three lovely children.
Julie started out mowing lawns with Michael more than twenty years ago and has worked on and off for the family business when not in school, teaching or staying at home with their children. She has been back with MacKinnon Property Management on a daily basis since 2003. Her duties include management of rental properties and condominium associations along with the daily issues of a small business.

With a degree in elementary education from University of Southern Maine, it’s not surprising that she enjoys volunteering in her children’s classrooms on a weekly basis. She also enjoys dates with her husband, playing with her kids, gardening, surfing, playing soccer, skiing and hanging out by the pool.
