Hi! At age three, my grandparents asked what I wanted for my birthday. Rather than say something typical, like a ball, I asked for the Merriam-Websters Pocket Atlas. From that moment on, I've been in love with discovering places. Growing up, my father's work allowed us to see many different places within the United States of America. I was continually amazed to learn about the unique stories that made those places special. Some of my favorite places are considered by many to be "boring" or "flyover." I started the Nifty Fifty Show with the goal of showing people how exciting every state is.
