✍🏻 Jackson County, you are home.�
Not just because of the roads I know by heart, but because of the people—steady, kind, hardworking, and strong in ways that don’t always make noise. Thank you for trusting me, raising me, and reminding me daily why this community is worth showing up for. There’s an ease to life here, but also a courage in how we keep moving forward, side by side.
I’m honored to be one of you. —EP
