What is your favorite part about serving on the Leadership Team?
The closeness of the group. Most of us have been a team for a very long
time and we get and respect each other’s strengths, weaknesses,
and differences.
Where are you originally from?
I was born in Glasgow, Montana. I am a 4th generation Valley County resident. When I graduated from high school,
I could not wait to get as far away from here as possible. I moved and
lived in lots of different places. I eventually went to Alaska where I
lived for 6 years. Our 2 daughters were born there. After they were born,
I could not wait to get back here. That was 22 years ago, and I haven’t
regretted a minute of moving home.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Spending time at home with family and friends, boating, gardening, mostly
flowers but vegetables as well, traveling, working out and cooking.
