Personal:

I have lived at the base of the Teton’s for the past 26 years splitting time between Jackson, Wyoming and Teton Valley, Idaho with my wife Laurel and three children, ages 21, 18 and 11. When time permits I enjoy chasing elk and white tailed deer with my bow, fly fishing, skiing, ice hockey and shuttling my kids to their various sporting events throughout the rocky mountain west.
