In 2002, Michael Smolyansky’s children took the helm of Lifeway Foods, with daughter Julie assuming the roles of President and CEO, and son Edward becoming Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. My Publix has a very limited selection so I had to go to another store to try some of the other items.

We bought our house as a short sale in 2008. One neighbor took out wooden shelving and put it on the curb and it now is used in our basement to store canned goods. My son has a job at a local pizza place and he gets a free meal after every shift. We also love travel and plan on doing much more of that when we retire.
