Intro
The Ozarks have always been my home. I’ve lived in other places for a few years, but I’ve always had a deep affinity for the Ozarks region of Missouri and Arkansas. I would often come back to see friends and family, but the hills and hollows themselves have also compelled me to return.
I’ve now moved back permanently to the Ozark Plateau with my beautiful wife, Nikki. We met on our first day at Drake University Law School and were married last October. Since graduating in May we’ve been getting settled into our new home in Republic, Missouri and trying to take some day outings into the Ozark countryside here and there while studying for the Missouri Bar Exam.
I hope to use this blog to share some of our adventures, provide some lessons learned, and create a pool of information and resources for further exploring and knowing the Ozark Mountain region.
