What are you most proud of when it comes to your personal or professional accomplishments here? As far as my accomplishments, I’m still working on them both personal and professional, but I’d say the interest that I’m starting to get within the soccer community in Moffat County is something I am proud of.

My advice to those moving onto other communities, stay motivated and stick to your goals. It’s hard to grow certain things in small communities due to limited resources or limited people but if you keep working at it and stay motivated you will be successful.
