Recreation on the River & Greenbelt
There is no better place for recreation on the Boise River and Greenbelt than the Boise Whitewater Park. With the opening of Phase One in 2012, it was one of the first adjustable river waves in the world. Eight years later, Phase Two is now complete.
Kayakers, surfers, and boogie boarders take to the rapids throughout the year to catch a wave. Located along the Greenbelt next to Esther Simplot Park, the whitewater park has ample parking, dressing rooms to change gear, and plenty of spectator viewing areas to watch all the action as riders crash through the waves.
Summer is officially underway in Boise when the opening day of river floating begins. From late June through Labor Day, river adventurers on inner tubes, rafts, paddleboards, even giant inflatable swans and pink flamingos, float downstream. The float includes three splashy “drops”, and because it is a natural river with tree limbs and debris that can pose hazards, visitors should always wear life jackets and use caution. Equipment rental, air-filling stations, and shuttle service are available in Barber Park during the float season, making it easy to partake in the fun and adventure.
The Boise River Greenbelt is one of Boise’s most cherished features. This 25-mile pathway beginning at Lucky Peak Dam and ending in Eagle, connects several outlying communities and parks along the Boise River to the heart of the city. Commuter bikes, recreational riders, walkers, and joggers all use the path for enjoyment, exercise, and travel. Although the Greenbelt runs right through the middle of the city, tucked along the way are areas that offer amazing views and wildlife such as great horned owls, river otter, even deer, that make it seem as though you’re in the middle of nature, far removed from the busy city life.

Real Estate is a passion of mine. I am fully immersed in our market activity around the Treasure Valley and surrounding areas. As we all know here in Idaho, our communities are growing so fast! I grew up coming to visit all parts of Idaho with my Father who lived in Pocatello, Idaho. My grandmother was born and raised in Preston Idaho, so much of my father’s family were Idahoans. I grew up understanding Idaho and loving it as much as my Father did. I was blessed to be able to move my family to Idaho in 2013 and enjoy all of the wonderful opportunities that Idaho offers families.
Working in Real Estate has taught me many things about myself. I am very good at multi-tasking, I am a good listener, I am very good at navigating through negotiations and I am a very determined person that will work tirelessly to help my clients accomplish their dreams and goals. I would like to say that I have achieved a 100% satisfaction from all of the many clients that I have served, however, I can’t speak for everyone and I know that I am not perfect, but I do try my very best to achieve this mark with every client that I represent. Every client that I have worked for I can honestly say is a friend of mine. This is much to do with why I love Real Estate!
I am Christian, married 23 years with 4 children. Achievements such as being presented with the honor of “International President’s Circle” with Coldwell Banker or Awarded “Top Sales Associate for the Eagle Office” in 2018 or being awarded “10 Best Real Estate Agents for Idaho” for the years 2018 and 2019, were only possible because of the clients that I have represented. The trust and faith from my clients, my family and friends are the reasons for these successes and for this I am grateful. I am Blessed to say that my business is 100% referral based.
My promise to my all of my clients is to serve them with Integrity and Honesty in every situation. My reputation is very important to me and I have a very high standard that I set for myself. I will never do anything that would compromise my morals or my values or that of my clients.
