They both graduated from
Michigan State University in
1999, and found their dream
home in West Bloomfield. The
Ashmanns chose to stay in

opportunities and strong family
ties. Taal is a vice president at
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney
in Livonia and has been there
for 11 years. Lori is a research director for Roadmap Market Research in Dearborn. Their
daughter, Ava, attends preschool at the Jewish Community Center and will also attend its
summer camp. The Ashmanns are members of Adat Shalom Synagogue in Farmington Hills
and are youth advisers for grades 2-5.
Taal and Lori have active schedules and love to have dining adventures around the city.
"We feel that our area is a wonderful place to raise a family; we love spending time outdoors
enjoying all the natural beauty that is in our own back yard."
