Day one of our 23-stop North Idaho Miracle at Work Forest. Harvest, plant, repeat. Over 40% of Idaho is covered in trees with 21.5M acres in forest lands, provate, state, fed, and tribal.

This is where everyday smells like Christmas.

Our job is to fully understand Idaho, its people, its communities, its industries, and its valuable resources.

With a tear in his eye, a Vietnam Veteran from Jerome's east end recalled that September day in 2001. He drives over every year to pay tribute to those who lost their lives. Your story matters Mr. Greenwell.

May we never forget. Thank you to Crossroads Point, our local firefighters and first responders, our local VFW, and many other volunteers who helped commemorate the over 3000 lives we lost that day. Let us remember how we came together in the days that followed. God bless the United States of America.

I challenged them to: write it down and make it happen (set achievable goals), surround themselves with a personal board of directors, and pad their resumes with soft skills. Great dialogue and good questions. Our future is in good hands. ... See more
