My roots are in Montana, where I grew up on my family farm and ranch in a family of six (four girls). I know, everyone immediately says "your poor dad", but he's not so poor, trust me. Anyway, since I left good ol' MT I have tried to hold onto these roots. I finished my masters degree in agricultural economics at Michigan State University and am now working as a consultant for an agricultural based research and consulting firm in Memphis, TN. Life is good. I really enjoy my job and I get to spend the rest of my time hanging out with my wonderful, amazing husband and my crazy dog.
