In 2001, she and her husband moved to Ketchum with their two children, Margot (who attends The Sage School) and Will. Lisa considers herself lucky to to be a part of such an amazing community. Lisa was the Vice President on the Board of Trustees at the Pioneer Montessori School for 7 years, and helped the school grow from 40 to 130 students. She was instrumental in helping the school expand their campus by purchasing the adjacent building, and helped raise $1.3 million.
