I was born and raised in Pocatello, Idaho and I am also an outdoor enthusiast and spend my summers camping, fishing, and exploring the mountains. I love to snowmobile in the winter time and take my boys on all the adventures possible. I have a bucket list that I try to cross some new adventures off twice a year, and can’t wait to cross many more off!
