I grew up in a little town about 30 miles away from Des Moines. Growing up in a family full of Iowa State Alumni and super fans, it seemed only fitting I carry on the tradition and become a Cyclone! My high school sweetheart and I got married and moved back to our hometown, where we own a farm with row crop and show cattle. We are also overly obsessed with our dog, Ace.

Things I love: cooking, reading, riding rangers, boating, camping, the outdoors, the color pink, being with my friends and family, and the Iowa State Fair.
