My father is one of twelve brothers and sisters, and together they own and run a 13,000-acre ranch in central New Mexico. I have been going there since I was a child, and no matter what is happening in the world, The Ranch always feels right. I’ve added a couple of pictures here. They don’t do justice to the beauty of the property, but I learned as much in the dirt of The Ranch as I have in all of my formal studies. It may not have a place on my resume, but it has shaped me into the person I am today.
