Like so many who have settled here in the Flathead Valley, I come from afar, have lived many places and now truly feel at home. I spent many years moving about the country, always with painful homesick longing for my home in Maine. A place of unmatched beauty with hundreds of years of history, it is a nest that nurtures grounded, hardworking fishing families as well as cultured cosmopolitan world travelers and artists.
Arriving in the Flathead Valley, I was immediately taken by its beauty and quickly caught up in its endless opportunities for outdoor adventure. Discovering Bigfork, I found small-town living, uptown art and a sense of community. My painful longing for my birthplace ceased for the first time in 17 years, and I found myself HOME.
