Personal Background

Visit Sturgis, SD where I was born.  A little town known for one of the most popular annual bike rallies in the US.

This is a picture of Bear Butte.  As a child, I hiked and explored this landmark every year.

Explore a dot on the map in Wyoming, known for coal and bison ranches, where I attended high school and return biannually to visit family.

This is a picture of Devil’s Tower National Monument close to my "home".  This unique formation is always enjoyable to visit.

Take a moment to look at coal energy and tour of an open pit coal mine where I earned money for my college tuition.
