Kris McGuire is a product of growing up on a military base. She attended ten different schools before graduating from Colorado State University with a degree in Forestry, specializing in Wildlife Disease. After graduation, she teamed up with two partners to run an environmental consulting firm. When the family bought a small ranch south of Laramie, Wyoming, McGuire turned her skills to raising cashmere goats and managing the cattle herd. With the experience of dealing with the provincial attitude rampant amongst the Cowboy culture, she learned a lot about the local rules pertaining to grazing rights, water rights, and bragging rights. McGuire is retired and living in the mountains near Laramie.
