Kellie grew up in the country near Sanford, Michigan. Her life-long passion is being outdoors and as a little girl she visited the U.P. and dreamed of someday living there.
In 2003 she moved to the Upper Peninsula to fulfill her dream; thereby ending frequent treks to the “paradise peninsula” and finally living in it. Kellie’s happiest moments in life have been spent outdoors and sharing those experiences with those who have grown to appreciate such adventures.
