I was born and raised in the Southern Midwest. It was a great place to grow up, but I realized at an early age that the mountains were calling my name.

For some, the dream of living near a beach is where they can spend their days with their toes in the sand or take a dip in the salty sea. Others dream of living in a place with tall pine trees, where flowers bloom most of the year, and you can catch lightning bugs.

I dreamed of living in the mountains.

I remember the first time I came to Montana, I knew it was the place I wanted to be. It felt like home. There's something about the mountains, the people, the places, and the sky that makes it special. It seems that I'm not the only one who loves the mountains. Over the last few years, several people have decided to call Montana home.
