I am a Wood River Valley native and Blaine County K–12 alum who was a former collegiate athlete at Linfield College while earning a double major in Mathematics and Chemistry. After returning to the Wood River Valley, I began my teaching career and returned to coaching swimming while earning a Master of Arts in Teaching (Secondary Mathematics) from Northwest Nazarene University. I am an active member of the community and enjoy swimming, hiking, skiing, fly fishing, cycling, and all that the Wood River Valley has to offer. “If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.” Billy Porter
