Milestones
My road in life has been direct.
Went to Utah State for college; studied plant science and biology.
He would always go back home to Wyoming for his summers and work on his family's ranch.
When the time came to choose a job, nothing felt like it was quite the right fit.
At first, he moved back home to the ranch as kind of a placeholder while he figured out what he wanted to do.
Looking back, he thinks he always knew that he was meant to live and work on the ranch, but he just had to try a few other things first.
One of the most important components to his happiness is being outdoors and using his senses, and working on the ranch fulfills that.
Says that in our culture, we get too busy and focus on work and money.
He likes the ranch life because it allows him to slow down, balance his life, and find beauty in his work.
