Currently i live in Elbow Lake, about 20 miles north of Echinacea Project base camp. I am married to Chris who is an elementary teacher. I have 4 kids ranging in age from 19- 24, two of them currently in college and one of them a two year Team Echin Project member.

I have always been so impressed by the quality of young people the Echin Project has year after year and am looking forward to this season too.
