I am centrally located. Feel free to leave your gear here safely with me while you hunt for a new home. You can even stay here if you need to. I will only charge 1 lesson per night. Otherwise, I feel you have a good foot hold on the situation. It is always good to get your feet wet before diving in. If you are going to put a nail on the head make sure you have the right tool for the job. If you stay in Ohio you will just end up toeing the line.
