A Winston-Salem native, Barbara Minor recently moved back to North Carolina after 30 years in Atlanta, Georgia. Throughout her childhood, Barbara spent a lot of time at the lake, as her father and his family were from Mooresville, Newton and the surrounding lake area. It was her dream to return to the lake one day and she is very happy to now call the Westport/Denver area of Lake Norman home. Most of Barbara’s professional career was in administration and marketing, and she was a long time Marketing Coordinator and Executive Assistant for a global commercial construction company and engineering firm. Some form of sales has always been a part of Barbara’s career and she loves sharing what she is passionate about. She is delighted to join the LKN Magazine team so she can continue sharing what the local people and businesses of Lake Norman are all about and have to offer.
Barbara has two grown step-sons in Atlanta, GA, and Melbourne, FL, and they are both excited about visiting and learning the lake area. Barbara enjoys tennis, pickleball, reading, cooking, paddle boarding, and boating. As the Lake Norman area continues to grow, she thinks LKN Magazine is a great avenue to spread the word about how great life on the lake is, and the benefits to both the locals and the local organizations alike.
