Grew up in small town USA: steel-toed boots, no stop lights, big yellow school buses, high school prom kings and queens, bring-your-tractor-to-school-day, and town festivals celebrating sauerkraut.

I'm fun and don't take life seriously. I believe in connecting with people and learning about the world. I studied journalism and love great stories about people, places, and their influences on one another.
