TEAM MORA
AARON & KATI MORA
Aaron and Kati Mora are both from Reed City. Aaron says he was in a garage band and played guitar and sang in the hallways at school to attract girls. Well that's where he met Kati so it must have worked! They live in Mt. Pleasant now and Aaron serves as a Campus Pastor at Community Church. He had the privilege of helping launch and lead the Alma Campus when it was founded in 2020. Kati is the President and CEO for Middle Michigan Development Corporation (MMDC), which serves Clare, Isabella and Osceola Counties, working with businesses, communities and industrial partners to champion prosperity and vibrancy in Central Michigan. Aaron says Kati is nerdy and nerdy in the best way. She loves jigsaw puzzles and can happily spend hours working through one piece by piece. Aaron loves a good how-to YouTube and tries to fix just about anything around the house. He is currently trying to put those skills to use at the cabin they recently purchased in Harrison, where they hope to soon invite guests to stay!
