Although I grew up in the flat plains of North Dakota, I have always loved the mountains and the ocean. After spending my college years in Duluth, Minnesota, eventually I was drawn to Oregon, where I was able to move to and I now hope to live out the rest of my days exploring the endless beauty of the Pacific Northwest. I love to hike with my dog, Millie, take photos, kayak, rock climb, and camp. I am looking forward to starting on my "To Do" list and seeing as much as I can.
