Affiliations
I enjoy many aspects of life from the outdoors to the indoors. Raised in Northwest Montana I love camping, fishing, and cooking over an open fire. Some of my favorite indoor activities include board games with the family, sewing, card making, crafting, music, and storytelling. I also love to travel the west visiting friends and relatives. I attend church and have the fun responsibility of teaching 4 year olds every Sunday.
