As a lifelong resident of the Flathead Valley, I love our mountain home.

Montana is my favorite place on earth. I've been a real estate professional and lived in Kalispell for 30 years.

I love our small businesses.

Did you know? About every $0.68 of every dollar spent locally, gets reinvested in our town which means more jobs and opportunity. Small businesses give teenagers their first job experience, make our main streets vibrant, and are the entrepreneurs who innovate and make Kalispell better.

Every month, I visit local, "mom and pop" shops to tell their story and talk about what they create, build, and provide.

If I'm being honest, I like to go to restaurants...because who doesn't like tacos, coffee, or cupcakes?
