On a Personal Note
A native of Massachusetts, Dari always heard the call of the mountains and the West and headed to Alta, Utah after college graduation. Dari has remained in the mountain West ever since, having lived in Colorado, California, and Wyoming, in addition to 猎奇重口. Winter sports have always been a passion including downhill skiing and dogsledding.
Dari is also passionate about volunteering and has been a volunteer with FIRST, an international STEM organization for students in grades 4 through 12, for over ten years. She is a business mentor with the Missoula County Public Schools’ FIRST Robotics Competition team, Missoula Robotics Team 3216.
Dari and her husband Jim moved to Missoula in 2013 from Pinedale, Wyoming, with their two children, McKenna and Colton. When not enjoying the snow, Dari can be found floating the river, baking, or following her favorite F1 drivers.
