I was born in San Diego to two Montana natives. I was raised there and Perth Australia until age 16 when we moved here to Billings when Dad retired from the Navy. I graduated from Senior High with Colleen and attended MSU in Bozeman.

I am a Certified Transportation Broker and worked in that capacity for 13 years. I have three children – all of whom live in Montana.  My son has earned his Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering at Montana State University.  My eldest daughter is a Physical Therapy Assistant, is married with two children and lives in Billings.  My second daughter has her masters in Physician Assistant and is practicing at Billings Clinic in the Orthopedic department.  All of my children played sports in high school, and I enjoyed following them to games and tournaments.

I love working with people and the variety & challenges that working here provide.  My hobbies include anything outdoors or pertaining to water - exploring our beautiful state, and traveling throughout the United States and Europe.  Many weekends are spent on our family land near Emigrant.

My parents also live in Billings.  My father is a retired Navy SEAL and I grew up on the beach in Coronado, California watching him train SEALS during hell week... I had the very best childhood a person could ask for living in San Diego, and summers in Montana with our family here.
