I grew up in the small town of Lingle, Wyoming. I got a degree in Media Communication from Bethel University in the Twin Cities area in Minnesota. I lived there for 7 years and only made it to the Mall of America 6 times. I did however attend too many Twins games to count. I moved back to Wyoming in November of 2009 to be closer to my family. I have two nieces that can make anybody's heart melt. When I am not working I am most likely dancing or playing volleyball, wait that's what I wish I was doing all the time...gotta work on that.
