About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making the most out of every SECOND.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in North Idaho. I've never seen a potato plant, but I've seen plenty of wheat! I have four older brothers, one older sister, six sister-in-laws, two brother-in-laws and 14 nieces and nephews. Yeah, big family! I'm the youngest by a few years, I guess I was a bonus baby.

I love the outdoors, even when the outdoors doesn't love me back. Beginners skill level in snowboarding, fly-fishing, photography, and hiking. Just starting to travel and I'm loving every minute!

I love music, from classical to the very definition of modern. I'm fascinated with architecture and anything older than myself. Giant churches amaze me, and the right painting will take my breath away.

PHILOSOPHY

One life to live, one day at a time.

Do one thing everyday that scares the shit out of you.

GREAT QUOTE: Life is not about finding yourself, life is about CREATING YOURSELF. I try to live by it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love almost all kinds of music. I'm from Idaho, so I do listen to country, but also rock, hip-hop, rap, classical, punk, jazz, and pretty much whatever else comes my way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've ever seen is the strength and courage of my very own mother. Not only has she been raising kids all her life (her 4 younger sisters and then 6 kids of her own), but she managed to come back after 2 serious strokes and hundreds of mini-strokes. After being in the hospital for 2 weeks and rehab for 6 weeks, she came home and within a week decided it was time the lawn be mowed. She amazes me, everyday, through her will to continue enjoying life and cherishing every moment. At the same time, I must commend and give credit to my father, who was by her side every second. From the first trip to the hospital to the hours of struggling in rehab. My parents set an amazing example of a resolute marriage.
