Biography

Heidi was born in Idaho Falls, ID and raised by two awesome parents: her mother, a former teacher currently enjoying her retirement and spending most of her time with her grandchildren, Heidi’s niece and nephew, while her 71-year-old father works as a whitewater guide. Heidi moved to Montana in 1999 to attend the University of Montana and never left. She welcomed her first child in August of 2016 and her second in December 2017. Family is very important to her and she could not be prouder of her own.

Small Town Story:

Idaho Falls had a small town feel as most everyone knew each other, but Heidi had a well-rounded experience. She learned about small town life from her father who was raised outside of Billings, Montana and she learned about city life from her mother, a native Chicagoan. Heidi really enjoys living in Polson; the calming view of the water and quick commute times make life in her new home town easy.
