Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø is a special place in its commitment to the FPU Idea and its clarity of mission within the Central Valley. The vision of this place is so captivating, from the moment I heard it, I knew I wanted to be part of it.
Additional Information
For two summers during college, I worked in Kings Canyon National Park (through ACMNP) and my heart was captured by the Sierras. While my wife, Carrie, and I have explored many parks through the years with our two boys, Sequoia and Kings Canyon have remained my parks. They are an old, cherished friend.
