City of residence: Peach County Occupation: Owner of Malibu Maui's Salon and Spa, Byron What was your very first job? Waldrup's Five and Dime in Forsyth. I was a clerk. Where were you born? I was born in Peach County but I was raised in Monroe County. What do you enjoy most about owning your own boutique salon? I am a certified massage therapist and I'm also a natural health consultant.
