The San Luis Obispo Buzz

Beth Marino
SLO Resident, Attorney

San Luis Obispo fosters growth and prosperity for both businesses and families. That’s why we moved our family here from Orange County eight years ago — to raise our family in an area with low crime rates, exceptional education, and perfect air and water quality. We also wanted to get out of our cars, so that we could spend more time with our kids.
