Hey y'all! My name is Shelby Holteen. Born in Texas, my love for the south was strong throughout my entire life. My family moved around a lot during my childhood which sparked my love for traveling and exploring. To date I have visited and explored 38 out of the 50 states. I spent most my life in Oregon which influenced my love of hiking and the outdoors. I grew up in a small farm town where everyone knew everyone, so upon graduation I knew I wanted out.

I started my journey at Oregon State University. As life’s twists and turns came at me I somehow ended up in online school and working for a Minor League Baseball Team full-time. Growing up playing softball, I always had a love of the game. I spent four years with the team and got to experience my entire summers at the ballpark and a championship. When 2020 came around though, COVID wiped out the sports world and I had to start fresh. By the end of the year I was a new resident of Texas.

Since then I have got experience a lot of firsts. I got my own home, my first puppy which quickly led to another, I met my now husband and became a stepmom. I left the sports world and entered the white collar corporate America but I love it and wouldn’t change a thing.
