I am blessed to live near one of the most incredible parks in our city…Manito! I freelance within the town. I come from an Air Force family whereby we moved about every four years, though I was fortunate to live in fun places like Colorado Texas, Oklahoma, Okinawa and England before we eventually settled in Spokane in 1994. I have a sister in Minneapolis and two brothers on the west side of Washington. Although I thought Spokane was incredibly ugly when I first moved here (in comparison to the picturesque countryside of England!), I grew to love the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and can’t imagine living anywhere else in the USA! The people, especially, are incredible!
