Positive impact maker. Supporting the evolution of mind, body, spirit and soul from you to everyone. Connector. Entrepreneur. Founder and CEO, Lane Fi.In rural Lane County, Oregon, limited to slow DSL and prohibitively expensive satellite internet, my family encountered severe challenges that hampered our ability to operate our home business. Connecting with my neighbors, I found many facing the same challenges. Inspired by these needs, I founded Lane Fi at the age of 16 over 10 years ago. I decided not just to overcome these challenges, but to transform them into opportunities that could benefit my entire community. This effort not only enabled my family to actually run our home business, but at the same time, significantly enhanced our life by expanding our access to entertainment, education, and communication. The first internet connection I provided to a neighbor was a moment that was nothing short of transformative. It confirmed my belief in the power and dramatic impact of connection and accessible technology.
