Shannon moved to the Treasure Valley in 1994 where she began a family and fell in love with everything Idaho offers. Her two sons, Zach and Jacob, are grown and live in Boise. She and her boys are avid outdoor adventurists; snow skiing, mountain biking, and recreating on the local lakes and rivers are all favorites. They are also fans of dining out at every new restaurant in town. When not working or playing, Shannon relaxes by entertaining for family and friends, cooking, reading, and traveling.
