I have lived in the Columbia River Gorge since 2010....but I fell in love with it the first time I visited, in 2008. I moved here from Las Vegas, NV. I moved to Las Vegas from Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, in 1989. From desert, to desert, to paradise! I have lived all over the world, and I can honestly say that The Columbia River Gorge is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever been!

I am deeply invested in this community, and have served, and serve on many boards. I am overwhelmed with the community involvement here. We come together and conquer, in a way that I have never seen before, especially for such a small community! We are diverse, we are strong, WE ARE GORGE STRONG!
