I was born and raised in Wall SD where the famous Wall Drug and the Badlands are. My parents owned lodging businesses also, so I grew up in the tourist trade and loved it. After I finished High School in 1972 I got a job managing a lodging facility in a nearby town. I liked it and spent most of the next few years working in or managing lodging businesses.
