What is your name?

Angie Nelson

What do you do for work and what is your slash (aka what do you do in your free time)?

I get to help connect Montana food and ag companies with resources to start-up or expand their businesses in my job at the Department of Agriculture and also have a passion to help people get fit and feel amazing as a part-time consultant with Isagenix. In my free time - I love all things CrossFit and doing anything outdoors with family & friends - mountain bike, hike, run, snowboard, disc golf, paddleboard. If there's anything I haven't tried yet - invite me to join you!

How did you land in Helena?

My husband & I were actually looking for a place to settle and raise a family & still be able to have career opportunities. Helena was one of the places we looked at - but hadn't visited until my husband got a job interview. Once my husband was offered an engineering position here, it was time to move and began the adventure of finding where we fit in this community.

What is the best piece of advice that you ever received – career-related or otherwise?

Do or do not, there is no try.

When do you feel the most yourself?

When I'm outside having adventures or when helping someone.

Where is the last place you explored and where do you want to explore next?

Explored the Washington/Oregon coast last year & shared a beachhouse with 15 Nelsons. Next? To explore some other Montana ski hills this winter! Send me your suggestions!

I own more athletic shoes than I do dress shoes!
