Since finishing my education I have lived in Ashley, North Dakota; Spokane, Cheney and Yakima, Washington. I returned to Spokane in 2007.

From 2002 until 2007 I was privileged to serve on the board of the Cowiche Canyon Conservancy.

I love to paint in watercolor; digital photography fits in my busy life. On my daily walk I usually carry a camera.
