NMP 6 Having just celebrated 25 years, The Center for Birds of Prey started out as a small medical nonprofit, the brainchild of avian enthusiast and former commercial real estate agent Jim Elliott, who initially hosted operations in his own home.

NMP 22 “I chose North Mount Pleasant because it’s a great community with an opportunity to build a very successful agency in a market that we didn’t quite reach from Summerville.
