About the host
Hosted by Wayne Fulmer
I am a veteran of the US Army currently residing in Columbus, Ohio. Yes, I am a true Buckeye fan!
My family and I enjoy traveling and staying at VRBOs because of the convenience and intimacy of feeling like we have all the amenities of home. I have been a VRBO premier host for the last 6 years for our other properties and truly enjoy working with people to provide a comfortable place to create special memories.
