Family info
I have an amazing family my mom Terry Porter is a huge inspiration to me. My dad Sid Porter is the reason I came to newlife and a total genus. I have two sisters, the oldest is Chandra who is a CPA in Boise, and the middle sister in the family is Marla who is currently pursuing her masters at Harvard. I’m the baby.
