JoDee has been a farmer for life. Growing up on a large farm in rural Idaho, she spent her days riding her favorite horse, Boots, herding cattle & moving pipe. Upon moving to Utah, it was one of her dreams to raise her children on a functioning farm. After graduating from BYU with a degree in Elementary Education and working shortly as a teacher, JoDee spent the next 15 years as a stay-at-home mom raising six children and many many animals (some of whom she almost regards as children).
As her children have grown and all entered school, JoDee returned to teaching and currently teaches the 7th grade at Timpanogos Academy, where one of the electives she teaches is animal science. During her summers she still enjoys spending time with the family on the farm and sharing her expert horsewoman skills as a horse-back riding instructor. JoDee loves working with children and also volunteers as an instructor on all animal merit badges with the Boy Scouts 0f America organization. Along with being a busy mother & grandmother (her kids & grandkids can't keep up with her), JoDee has numerous hobbies and especially enjoys traveling with her husband, Al.
