In 2014, as a 5th & 6th grade teacher, I thought it would be a chance of a lifetime to travel from my home in WI to Bristol Bay, Alaska to work on a commercial salmon fishing boat for my cousin/Captain, Phil. With the idea of teaching my classroom ALL about the world's largest sockeye salmon run on the planet in the fall, I listened and learned as much as I possibly could! I also learned that I really enjoyed the work and the Alaska fishing industry! I continue to travel each Summer to Alaska. In 2019 our family began to sell our Salmon here in WI through delivery and at local farm markets. I have pivoted from teaching a classroom to homeschooling our children, homesteading, while still working a day job. We recently purchased our family's future 20-acre homestead, which we are developing from a corn field to our forever homestead. We work hard and play hard with our goals in order.... God, Family, & Work
