'Everything's Possible'

Starting a business isn't easy. Especially when you're in a new country where everything — the language, terminology, measurements — isn't what you're used to.

“All is different,” says Andreas Boll. “To bring our first package to the post office took us a day, because we didn't know how it works. But the United States is the country where everything is possible.”

Boll and his wife, Marianne Boll, first came to Sarasota on sabbatical from their jobs as educators in their native Switzerland, where they founded and managed a small private international school. Like many others before them, they fell in love with the area and decided to move to Sarasota permanently.
