I’ve been married since 2008 to my best friend, Nick. We met shortly after high school, dated long-distance while we attended college, then moved from Illinois to Minnesota to pursue our careers. We now have two children, a crazy dog, and a small flock of laying hens. 

My personal hobbies include baking, cooking, recipe creation, sewing, and gardening. As a family, we love to be outdoors as often as possible. We live near a large lake in Northern Minnesota and we enjoy being on the water together. Nick and I are also avid hunters during the fall months, pursuing whitetail deer and upland birds. Recently, we even started taking our kids along on these trips as well. In the winter, we typically spend the weekend’s ice fishing or snowshoeing around our property. 

We feel truly blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the United States, have property to call our own, and have countless recreation opportunities.
