Meet Your Neighbor... Kirk Hanrahan

In this episode, Realtor Steve sits down with Westbrook Village resident Kirk Hanrahan, whose life story is as heartwarming as it is inspiring. Born in Toronto, Ontario, Kirk’s journey has taken him across cities, careers, and callings — including a time when he believed he might become a pastor.

But at the center of Kirk’s life is a love story that began remarkably early. He met his wife, Lois, at church when they were just 12 years old. They became close friends, started dating at 15, and married at 19. Today, with 36 years of marriage behind them, their partnership has powered them through the adventure of owning multiple businesses and building a life rooted in faith, family, and shared purpose.

Now calling Westbrook Village home Kirk talks about what he loves most about the community, how his Canadian roots shaped him, and the lessons learned from decades of entrepreneurship and commitment.

This episode is a warm reminder of how early connections can grow into lifelong love — and how the people of Westbrook continue to make this community truly special.

Tune in for a conversation filled with heart, humor, and the spirit of a life well-lived.

Steve Merila — Host, Meet Your Neighbor
As Realtor Steve, I’ve learned that real estate is about more than houses — it’s about people, stories, and the connections that make a community feel like home. That belief inspired Meet Your Neighbor, a podcast where I sit down with the incredible residents of Westbrook Village to share their journeys, passions, and what brought them here.
Each episode is a genuine, easygoing conversation — like chatting over coffee with a friend — that reminds us how special this community truly is. My goal is simple: to help people connect, feel seen, and celebrate the amazing neighbors who make Westbrook Village one of a kind.
