STORIES from BOISE
Surprise! This is the beginning of a new regular series all about what/where to eat & drink in Boise. I obviously know a lot about Boise. But every time I’m going out to eat, it’s like my mind suddenly goes blank on every restaurant I’ve ever been to before or been wanting to try. For […]

After years of freelance writing for other people, I wanted to write stories in my own voice and about things I actually cared about. I started From Boise to explore things happening around town, connect with people doing cool and creative work, and capture all the little things that make Boise such a cool place to live.
