​Biography


I'm an Oregon native, first and foremost. I grew up on a small farm in Yamhill County just between Willamina and Sheridan. It was there on the farm that my earnest work ethic was formed. I tend not to shy away from hard labor or difficult tasks.

I had my first taste of small business experience when I was 15 and began to do payroll for my dad's timber business. After high school, I went on to earn my Bachelor of Science in Education from Linfield University. It wasn't long before I started my own school, marrying my two passions: business and education. 

I married my high school sweetheart, Denny Elmer, and we began a lifelong journey of small business development and community involvement. In our 30 years of marriage we have had four beautiful children. Each of them has a passion for entrepreneurship, and they are all now actively pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams. I want my legislative work to be approached not only with you, my constituents, in mind, but also the next generation of Oregonians and entrepreneurs.

When not working on various business opportunities, I have held a seat on numerous civic committees, from the McMinnville Chamber of Commerce to the McMinnville Downtown Association.

​I look forward to this new endeavor of public service, and am always wanting to learn how I can best serve you in this process.
