I grew up in Montana and will always consider myself a Montanan, no matter where I live. My love of running, cycling, skiing, and kayaking were born in that great Big Sky Country, and I continue to visit the state regularly to see my wonderful family. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my fiancé and our two rescue dogs (adopted from SAVE) and volunteering with animal welfare groups.
