Hi Jeff! I'm from Coeur d'Alene and am pretty familiar with the landscape if you want to message me for more information. Also have a quite a few connections to local figures in political, religious, and business spaces. Also CDA is so close to Spokane and provides another layer of interest.

At my ACCS school, we debated "Should Beowulf have fought the dragon?" in eighth grade. I was one of two students arguing no. I argued that Beowulf's death, because he was the king, doomed his people. A great hero does not inherently mean a wise leader. Current events explain why I lost that debate.
