Born and raised in a small town in Eastern North Carolina, there's no denying the love I have for this great state! With outdoor activities as rich and varied as its landscapes, I am beyond blessed I get to express my passion for the outdoors in a multitude of ways - from calling Mallards in my family's 40-acre swamp to trolling for dolphin off the Crystal Coast. My wonderful family inspired these passions, and my husband and I are so fortunate to be able to raise our son with the same opportunities.
