Storm was born in McCall, Idaho and spent a majority of his childhood on the shores of Payette Lake and the neighboring rivers and streams. In the winters, many days were spent sledding off of the barn roof onto a homemade snow ramp. Storm's family then moved to Canada for only a few short years in too many places to list. Memories of rivers filled with salmon, bald eagles to match and the never ending rain of the British Columbia coast are what has followed him as his family moved back to the states. After a short year in Central Washington, his family has spent the last 8 years in Wallowa County. In his time in the county, he has spent numerous weekends and days on end backpacking in the Eagle Cap Wilderness and Wallowa Whitman National Forest. Storm and his brother (Justice) can often be found fishing the Wallowa Lake in search of Kokanee in their vibrant orange and blue kayaks. Storm will be fighting wildland fire out of Joseph for the Forest Service and attending Treasure Valley Community College in the fall. Storm would like to thank his parents for their never ending search for the best lives for him and his brother. From every small, meaningless argument that was blown up for little reason to every fantastic moment spent together working and enjoying the outdoors the time together could be described as little else other than the embodiment of family. Storm would like to give an additional thanks to his younger brother, Justice, for being the best fishing partner he could have asked for.
