Deb was raised in Northern Idaho and Alaska by her father, a dedicated survivalist. Growing up, her family hunted, foraged, and grew nearly all of their own food. As a child, she resisted that lifestyle, but as the years have passed, she has found herself longing for the simplicity, self-sufficiency, and connection to nature that shaped her early years.

Her son, Mario, is the center of her world. Born with significant physical challenges, Mario underwent twenty-seven surgeries at Shriners Hospitals and the Mayo Clinic. The experience brought chaos, uncertainty, and profound challenges to their lives. Together, they navigated struggles with mental health, resilience, and the search for peace in a complicated world.

Today, Deb is grateful to say they have found that peace. Alongside their three dogs, three cats, and even three squirrels who have become part of the family, there is joy and happiness in everyday life.

What excites Deb most each morning is her garden. She finds fulfillment in tending her trees, plants, and vegetable garden, discovering beauty and purpose in nurturing living things. At 57 years old, she has finally found peace in some of life’s smallest and most unexpected places.
