About the host
Hosted by Gray Gilmore
Hi, I’m Gray! My wife Jessica and I live in Birmingham with our daughter and love spending time on the water. I moved to Birmingham in 2017 for law school, and Alabama has truly become home. Hosting is our way of sharing joy and rest with others. We’ve designed our lake house for comfort, fun, and relaxation, and we hope you feel right at home—whether visiting for a game, graduation, or a quiet lake escape.
