I grew up living in Colorado and Michigan and since have alternated living in each state. My dad passed away 3 years ago and since then, I have started living life to the fullest. Scuba diving, rock climbing, and taking weekend trips keeps me occupied during the summer. As for the winter, I was introduced to snowboarding 2 years ago and have been chasing storms ever since. My all-time favorite runs are at Wolf Creek, Colorado- the Waterfall Area.
I teach grades 7 and 8 at a private school near mid Michigan (when I'm home that is.) Also, I enjoy visiting the Great Lakes, camping, hiking, and kayaking.
