I’m proud to say I was born and raised in Indiana. My most treasured memories include helping my Grandmother in her garden, playing kickball, racing 4-wheelers and ice skating on frozen fields. Growing up in a small town with a population under 800 was nice because the community looked out for each other and most of my family was within a 20 mile radius. The challenge of growing up in a small town is the shortened gap between an unlicensed teenager taking the family car for a spin on country roads and your parents finding out.
