Who’s Who of Wilmington Today: Meet Brooke and Devin Skipper

Brooke was born in a small town outside Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. She moved to Wilmington to attend UNCW, fell in love with the town and never left. She enjoys the ocean, especially fishing and paddleboarding. She’s determined, honest and prefers planning.

Originally from Massachusetts, Devin was born into a military family but has lived in North Carolina all his life. His favorite part of Wilmington is the salt air. He jokes, “No really, I love that smell!” Devin describes himself as an introvert, driven and a visionary.

What is your average workday like?

What do you enjoy most about your job?
