Greetings and welcome! I started this independent blog in November of 2006 as a communication tool to work along with my website. This is an opportunity to communicate with the residents of Sun Valley and with my friends around the world on all sorts of topics.
This blog focuses primarily on issues of the day facing the City of Sun Valley and those which affect our citizens and property owners. I also use the blog to discuss some of the lighter sides of things as well. Although I have been “blogging” since October of 2005, I am very excited and grateful to have my own independent blog in a non-commercial setting where we can keep the discussion focused on the issues of the day.
To help keep this blog positive and constructive, I established a few simple Guidelines. You can see them at the tab above.
Great thanks for stopping by!

I was born in the Bitterroot Valley of western Montana, a first generation American. My mother immigrated from Sweden and my father from Switzerland. I grew up with the pristine mountains at my back door and came to appreciate and value the natural setting and all it gave us.
I first came to ski in Sun Valley in the early 1960′s with my family and came back almost every year after that. Like most of you, the natural beauty and sense of community lured me here full-time over 23 years ago. It is because of my desire to help preserve these values that I feel so strongly about giving back to the town I now call home.
My lovely wife of 32 years, Patti, is active in many community service projects. She currently serves as Chairman of the International P.E.O. Foundation Board. Prior to that, Patti completed a seven-year term on the state board of the Idaho State Chapter of P.E.O., serving the last year as President. In her free time Patti practices law.
