Now From Idaho
I’ve made my home in the Magic Valley of Southern Idaho after spending the first 30 years of my life in Utah and another 20 years living and working in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma. I have fallen in love with the Snake River Canyon in Southern Idaho, kayaking the river that made it, and exploring its trails.
