East Valley Living was originally founded as a joint venture in 2003 by long time friends and business associates, Kathleen Forden and Kathleen Gorden. Whenever Austin is asked if the two very similar names are for real, she animatedly exclaims with a wink and a nudge, "Kathleen Forden is my alter-ego!"

In all seriousness, both businesswomen are very real and separate individuals who share similar maiden names. The two Kathleens met while serving together as board members for an Internet professionals group many years ago and quickly learned the foundation of their values and business acumen were right on.

"These amazing similarities helped to bond our friendship from the very beginning. We easily became naturals for a joint venture," Kathleen reported.

"I am proud to be associated with EVLiving.com going forward, and look forward to serving the community in any way I can."
