It all began in a small town called Mt. Hood, Oregon.

I grew up in a VERY small town. We’re talking like Gilmore Girls Stars Hollow small. My childhood home is on a little pear orchard, where my 3 siblings and I spent much time riding four-wheelers, raising chickens and goats, and roasting many, many marshmallows over our summer campfires.

I have always loved writing. During my senior year of high school, my English teacher included an advertising unit in our curriculum. I fell in love with the creativity and critical thinking advertising requires. Here I am many years later, more infatuated with the craft than ever.
