My guest on episode 29 of “Tight 10 with Dave Dyer” is Chief Jason St. Onge of the Mackinac Island Fire Department. He’s a Mackinac Island native, he’s a University of Michigan grad who entered the world of finance and then went back to Mackinac Island because life in a cubicle would’ve driven him mad. Mackinac Island is a popular vaction spot in Lake Huron about 5 miles off the coast of the mainland between the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan. There are about 500-ish full-time residents, but they have over a million tourists and visitors every year.  ALSO, the only gas-powered vehicles on the Island are used by the municipalities.  In other words, Chief St. Onge has quite a challenge on his hands.
