1) How, when and why did you get into the fence industry?
I got into the fencing industry just out of high school, working with my dad. I’ve been installing for about 16 years now and I’ve had my own company since 2020.
2) How is business going these days — are you crazy busy with all the construction?
The business is going pretty good. I stay pretty busy with just word-of-mouth customers. I’d like to keep the company small to focus on quality.
3) Where does the name "Rock Bar" come from?
The name Rock Bar Fence came from the bar used to break up the dirt and move rocks in the holes.
4) What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
I feel like I’m pretty creative. If I see a picture of something, I could probably build it and I love road trips. I’ve been a roughneck for about five years. Also, I love learning new things.
5) What are some of your favorite memories from growing up in North Idaho?
My favorite things growing up were mountain biking, camping, offloading and four-wheeling North Idaho.

Christmas shopping is always better with friends. When those friends are festively clad classmates with a common goal of shopping for families in need while keeping to a budget, it makes that shopping experience much merrier. “It’s really nice and I’m super happy that I can bring joy to people who can’t afford as much as they would like,” Lake City High School senior Aurora Johnson said Thursday morning. "It’s a really fun and great activity, and I love how passionate our class is for it.”

Lakeland High celebrates successful blood drive
Lakeland High School is celebrating a successful Friday blood drive that brought in 85 units that will impact up to 255 people in local hospitals. The school will also be receiving a $5,000 check from Vitalant that will be used to buy equipment, books or laboratory projects that promote and support Lakeland High School science, technology, engineering or mathematics programs. Hosted by the Lakeland Honor Society, the annual blood drive is a longstanding tradition for the high school. "Lakeland High School ran blood drives before I arrived back in 1997," said honor society adviser Frank Vieira, who has been the blood drive coordinator for 28 years.
