Colleen is a Wyoming gal who made the move to Montana in college. (Just a few years ago…if you ask her!) After a few adventures in television news, she moved back to Montana and married a Bozeman boy, and had three kids, Emma Gracie and Matthew. They are always on the go, camping, skiing, fishing and laking. She’s teaching her kids the important things, like Classic Country Music, Bobcat Football, and how to have fun! She loves starting the day with you every day on XL Country. Thanks for listening. And thanks for being the most important part of XL Nation!
