Yuan Tu

Ten years ago, we moved from Manhattan, New York, because I had found a job with Eli Lilly and Company, where I have been working ever since as an associated biologist dealing with mice and bacteria. We first rented an apartment in Pike Township, which - at only 900 square feet - still felt like a palace compared to the apartment we rented on 111th Street, Manhattan. A few months later when I felt that I could handle the mice and bacteria, I told my wife that we might be able to buy a cheaper townhouse. We ended up buying a "huge house," relative to our intended townhouse. The realtor and builder hooked us up. This additional transition forced my older daughter, Feng to change schools for her 8th time. She's now 20 and a sophomore at college. My second daughter, Abigail, born in Manhattan, is 11 years old in fifth grade.

We joined IACA five years ago because we believed it would make our lives more meaningful in this small town. We emigrated from Fujian, China, where both my wife and I were born, but now, we are trying to become Hoosiers.

I have worked for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources - Regulatory Section as a hydraulic engineer. I retired from the State a few years ago and is currently working as a Realtor and real estate investor.
