Kathy is a native of Michigan and has delighted in visiting the greater Traverse City area for over 30+ years with her family; having enjoyed many summers at their cottage on Spider Lake and most recently their newly purchased cabin on Lake Skegemog. She and her family love their unique surname and have fun with it. The name Dork was changed from Dvorak when her husband's great, great grandfather decided to Americanize the name when he opened Dork's Groceries in Saginaw, Michigan. Her husband is also related to the famous Czech composer Antonín Dvorák. Antonín was considered the black sheep of the family because he became a composer and did not follow in the family business to become a butcher. Coincidentally, the massive butcher block used in Dork's Groceries is proudly displayed in their Lake Skegemog kitchen.
The world of real estate was a perfect fit for Kathy and she joined the Mark Hagan Real Estate Professionals at Coldwell Banker Schmidt in the beginning of 2021.
